COVID-19, didn’t simply improve on its known predecessors to adapt to a more hostile environment. I mean, we got melting poles…a […]

Tradiciones Peruano-Americanas
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV, but I am going to recommend that y’all find yourselves a neighborhood Peruvian store. Stat. And restaurant, too. Double-stat. (@qusqobistro in #LosAngeles, #ChalánontheBeach in #MiamiBeach, and @limonrotisserie here in town. Provecho.) You’re only as healthy as your diet and your traditions, and that’s the […]

Bastantes han arrivado en #Peru, mi país de nacimiento; conocí a algunos la última vez que estuve en #Lima, en enero. Todos – jóvenes, con familias – ejercían el trabajo que […]
