#threeGoodThings

1) in my quest to replace my broken washer and old dryer, I discovered there exists such a thing as all-in-one washer dryer, and was small-kine mind-blown!

2) Ate #plantains for the first time in a loooong time.

3) Caught part of the Kamehameha Day Parade after my workout this morning.

Crispy Patacones (Fried Green Plantains) You’ll Want on Repeat

Crispy patacones made from green plantains and fried twice for the perfect texture. I love serving them with ají picante or hogao.

MOON and spoon and yum

It was too embarrassing for me to order this out loud so I resorted to pointing like the idiot tourist I am. Really tasty though!

Bartaco in North Hills, NC. One of my favorite taco places in Raleigh, tacos are great, and love the plants hanging on the ceilings. I highly recommend getting the sweet plantains with the jalapeño garlic sauce, it's a match made in heaven. Shot in December 2024.

Fedi friends, I am in possession of a pair of lovely plantains at the yellow-black stage of ripeness. Not dark enough for maduros, too dark for tostones.

I want to prepare these for part of our dinner tomorrow night, which will include grilled meats and spicy black beans (flavors will include lots of cumin, garlic, and coriander).

All reasonable suggestions welcomed!
