T-Shirt of the Week: UNITY
December 7th, 2010
Starting today, we will be offering 10% OFF our “T-SHIRT OF THE WEEK!” This week’s tee is UNITY.
I have always been fascinated with the bold, iconic graphic style of political posters, slogans and imagery. Probably due to the fact that I grew up in NYC’s Spanish Harlem during the 1970′s. That style was the inspiration for a lot of my designs including this T-shirt!
Behind the message UNITY it says “Fuerza en la Unidad” which means “Strength in Unity”.
The typography is very propaganda-esque. A somewhat fitting combination in today’s climate.
I believe in promoting strength through UNITY, because it should always be We. Not Me.
After seeing the heart wrenching images this past summer of all the animals drenched in oil, we are donating 20% to the National Wildlife Federation in an effort to support the wildlife that was impacted by the oil spill crisis.
A heartfelt thanks to La Costa Latina newspaper, Latina Lista, Style.com , Lifetime Moms, and My Shopping Connection for featuring our UNITY tee!!

Cause you gotta have Faith
November 14th, 2010
Sometimes all it takes is
a FEELING, an ASPIRATION, an INTUITION, a TRUST or HOPE.
Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.
Thanksgiving Criolla Style
November 11th, 2010
Looking to add a little latin flair to your holiday dinner?
I always looked forward to my Grandfather’s turkey feast on Thanksgiving!
Enjoy!!
Ingredients:
2 Heads of whole garlic – peeled
2 packets of Goya Sazon
3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of vinegar
Adobo or Salt, pepper and oregano
Mix all of the ingredients in a Pilon, or blend in a blender.
Once the mixture is made, rub 3/4 of it in between the skin and meat of the turkey.
You will need to carefully lift the skin in places to get the mixture underneath.
Spread the remaining paste completely on the outside of the turkey.
Then sprinkle some salt, pepper and another packet of sazon on top.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours .
Bake the turkey according to package instructions, basting occasionally with the pan drippings.
He always stuffed the turkey with picadillo, but for something different try a Mofongo stuffing.
This is a yummy sounding recipe I found on Elboricua.com
Mofongo Turkey Stuffing
To make Tostones:
Use 5 large green plantains. Slice the peeled plantains diagonally into 1″ slices. Fry the slices in oil over medium heat until they soften. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Using a tostonera (a press), slightly mash each piece to about half an inch in thickness. If a press is not available insert the pieces between a folded piece of brown-paper and press down using a saucer. It is best to press all the pieces first before going on the next step. Dip each piece in warm salted water and fry again until crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Ingredients for Stuffing:
1 lb bacon, sautéed and chopped into small pieces (discard large chunks of fat)
3 tsp. chopped garlic
3 sweet chili peppers (ajíes dulces), seeded and chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
Combine the bacon, garlic, peppers, and olive oil. Mash 5 tostones with about 1/5 of the oil mixture in a pilon. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used up.
To make stuffing:
Combine mofongo and 1/3 cup chicken broth. Add more broth if it’s not moist enough. Stuff the bird.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Peace Starts With You
November 2nd, 2010
Have you ever had a time when you are driving in your car and you seem to lose track of how you got from point A to point B? It’s almost like being on autopilot in a somewhat hypnotic state.
Recently, I was driving on Ventura Boulevard and there has been so much construction as of late that traffic has been really heavy, and people have been really cranky.
I was on autopilot and suddenly noticed this crazy person trying to weave in and out of traffic obviously in a hurry to get somewhere. What I didn’t realize was he was in a hurry to get to me.
I stopped at a red light and he pulled up alongside me, rolled down his window and began cursing me out!
He was waving his hands up and down, screaming and spitting. I was genuinely taken aback and asked “What did I do?” He looked at me incredulously and spewed forth some more expletives followed by “You stupid bitch”.
My heart started pounding and I was about to start cursing back, but then I stopped myself, because this quote I recently read on twitter popped into my head:
“Let There Be Peace On Earth. And Let It Begin With Me.”
Okay, I know that sounds like an “If You Build It, He Will Come” moment, but that quote had really stuck with me!
I figured I must have cut him off unintentionally, and I really didn’t want to get sucked into that all too familiar feeling of road rage.
So, instead I simply said “I’m sorry” and flashed him the peace sign.
Sounds so corny, I know, but the funny thing is it stopped him… dead in his tracks.
He just stared at me dumbfounded, shook his head and drove off.
I rode home a little bit shaky and filled with adrenaline, but glad that it did not escalate.
There is so much anger and impatience in the world.
Why is it that so many people seem to be in a rush all the time?
Life may be short, but there is always time for courtesy.
Peace.

This summer, my mother in law passed away. Ours was a rocky road, she was tough, blunt and did not mince words. Of course you had to be one tough cookie if you were a nurse in the ER and the mother of five boys.
