Javier and I are now sustaining members of our local NPR member station, WPLN Nashville Public Radio. After listening through several pledge seasons on NPR without ever actually donating, we decided it was time to make up for lost pledge opportunities and make a pledge for monthly withdrawals in 2012. Javi and I prefer to […]
Since we showed some pictures of some of our meals, we wanted to also share our ways of cooking some foods. We don’t have time (and most of the time the energy) to make elaborate meals so in our kitchen the motto is: The simpler the better! Ya que les mostramos algunas fotos de algunas […]
Our diet has changed drastically since February 13 when we decided to follow the P90X nutrition plan in addition to doing the workouts. It’s hard to believe that we were posting about eating nachos and pigs in a blanket only a few weeks prior to making changes. For me, the hardest part of the program […]
When it comes to certain foods, I am very particular about the way they are prepared. One of these foods is the avocado. I love avocados, I could eat them every day (which I do) and if I were ever in a situation where I had to pick one thing to eat for the rest […]
Today Javier and I joined hundreds of people at the capitol to rally for justice for Trayvon Martin and others just like him – others like Troy Davis and Emmett Till – others that the U.S. justice system has utterly failed. The rally was amazing – everyone wearing hoodies, carrying bags of skittles and tea […]
Yesterday was Choripan’s birthday! It was also national puppy day which is perfect because he was one of the two cutest puppies ever (the other being Chupete, obviously). Choripan was an unplanned puppy – his adoption story is a pretty good one. Last May, Chupete lost his tags while going crazy playing with some other […]
Since I posted about the signs of spring popping up all over our yard, we’ve had a variety of plants and flowers sprout and bloom everywhere. The woman who used to live in our house was an avid gardener and luckily for us she planted flowers that don’t need any upkeep or attention from us. […]
Here are some quick tips and ideas about the basic parts of our current diet. In the future we will be sharing some simple recipes (yes, SIMPLE! we are not fancy cooks and normally don’t have the time to cook super produced meals) Aqui van algunos consejos e ideas se las partes basicas de nuestra […]
It’s been almost a month since Trayvon Martin was senselessly murdered in Florida, and it’s high time we said something about it on here. This blog is about our lives, and there’s something to be said about how Javier and I will never, in our lives, experience the kind of fear when it comes to our […]
It’s barely spring and we’re already acting like it’s summer at the Los Rodriguez mansion. Ever since Javier bought his grill the weather has been consistently in the 80s and I think today it got all the way to 91. Does anyone remember back in February when I mentioned I might be a little bummed […]
