Don't go to Sophie's for tostones. They are always soggy. We'll have to have a GTG/Cook out.

No b1tching -- they are fried plantains. I'd only b1tch if you tried to steal any of mine.

Fried up green plantains....

YUM

when i was young, i mistakenly called them 'botones'

My family still refers to them as 'buttons' when talking to me.

I dip mine in minced garlic before frying...then put them in a paper bag, sprinkle with salt, and then shake shake shake

They are so freakin awesome. It is one of the things I love about NY. Here in Texas if I want 'spanish' food, I get Tex-Mex. SO not the same.

You totally have to come over. So you can see the tostonera my father made my mother. He carved her name in it!

Sounds great.
I also mince up some garlic with mayonnaise as a dipping sauce.

I need to go heat up my FryDaddy....
or grab some lunch.

This is why I like you. You'd never threaten to take my food from me

Re: I can't wait to go to Puerto Rico...

Whoa, sounds great. I've seen it on menus but never had them.

I'll have to see if my favorite quesadilla place Ay! Carumba has them. We just had quesadillas last night.
