Hola todos,
Hace unos años, fue en Key West y comí una sopa deliciosa a un Cubano restaurante. "Caldo Verde" o "Caldo Galega", penso con la col rizada, el jamon, las zanahorias y los pequeños frijoles blancos.
Tengo una receta para Caldo Verde...creo que se llame Caldo Galega algunas veces. Esta bueno, pero no es como la sopa que comí.
Nadie tiene una receta para eso? Qualquier ideas?
Gracias Amigos

While talking with Johnny a couple days back, he was telling his experience in Thailand. It was good to know about Thailand and its culture from Johnny. He was a funny guy and I know what he would do there(actually he loves nature and picturizing them). But later when I started to talk about Cyprus, he was excited and wanted to visit and make memorable Cyprus Holidays with this family. Ah..well..why all of a sudden? Might be because of best never ending beaches, culture, food, nature, hospitality and multiple activities!!. To explore why choosing Cyprus, just book and fly here and explore more about undiscovered Cyprus.
