So dad was over today and as usual when Dad comes over we make Puerto Rican food (this time around he makes an appearance hanging out in the back ground… making sure I do it right lol). Any way we made Picadillo de Carne one of the building blocks of great Puerto Rican food. Things like empanadas, alcapurria, piononos and Relleno de Papa.
