Billo's Caracas Boys...

Jajajajajajajaajajajajjaja... I just told you what my friends said... But, you know what?... When I went to the States, there was this "Hickory Farms" stand... And they gave samples of a cheese that was delicious... It tasted a little like bacon... I guess it was smoked... Really good!...

Maybe it was this one?...

Venezuela is blessed in so many ways, Mic... I also told you that Venezuelans missed our white cheeses... You know, when I was a kid, I always wondered why my relatives in the US ALWAYS asked my parents to buy huge amounts of one Venezuelan cheese, for them, when we traveled to the States... Well, I have a lot of Venezuelan friends that live in the USA and you have no idea of how they suffer, saying the cheeses there are horrible and also some other latin cheeses and how they miss our cheeses... Now, I understand why my relatives insisted sooo much on my parents so that they didn't leave without the cheese...



In that picture, seems like they all look the same, but they are all different in textures and flavors... Mmmmmmmmmmm... Just to die for...

RE: Watching a Kid

That's what I call "style"... Bravo!...

Unfayzed, thank you so much, for your kind words and for always being so sweet to me... People that are nice to me on this site, truly have a special place in my heart... Thank you so much... And I love that you are having your 12 year old grandson... Hope you spoil him a lot!...

Have never tried pumpkin or mincemeat pies... But pumpkin bread is delicious!...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

I agree with the "Quick and Easy"... And I was just trying to help you, like I did with "Habanero"... Do you make any desserts?

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Mmmmmmmmm... Sofrito is delicious... And I am sure there must be many recipes... But all of them with common ingredients and slightly variations...

R-a-m-s-a-y...

I think I watched a video of RamsAy cooking a piece of "Monk fish", years ago, and it looked delicious...
I have never tried liver... Is it too bad?...

RE: For the year ender

Thank you so much, for sharing, Tatami!... I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve!... And an amazing 2021!...

Ajíes dulces are used here for almost everything, Mic... I use them when I make white rice and... OMG... T-h-e f-l-a-v-o-r!!!!!... I use them in stews, scrambled eggs, carne mechada (google it), pollo guisado (that, too )... How well do I cook?... I wonder how I can answer to that question... Let me see: I don't cook as well as Gordon Ramsay, but not as bad that I have sent anyone to the hospital for food poisoning...
Did you watch the video?... Did you like it?...

Have you ever watched the "Impractical Jokers"?... That has to be the best job ever!...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Like the guy with the hat and beard?...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Wow... Risk being caught with seeds and done God knows what, for a set of virtual steak knives and a toaster... Very tempting...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

I can't believe you doubted me on THAT...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Well, if I ever go to the States again, I will take some with me and send them to you, so you can compare both... (Not virtual, but REAL )... But, I am not sure if I will be allowed to travel with them... There are so many restrictions... I remember my youngest niece couldn't even take a sandwich she had bought to the plane... A year ago, I was given this huge umbrella in Caracas... When I was flying back to Maracaibo, they told me it could be used as a weapon... I said to them I didn't mind them keeping it the whole flight... Well, they said "NO"... I went to the guy at the door and I introduced myself... He said he had been working at the Maiquetía Airport for over 40 years... I said, well, here is a gift from a Maracucha (A lady born in Maracaibo, like me), to you... He was so happy... And I was so happy for him, even though I had to get rid of my gift...

Pat8lanips, honestly, I have no idea... When the time comes for me to take it (In case it's mandatory) I will think of which one I will take and buy it anywhere in the world and have it sent to me... Thank God, I can afford to do that...

Mic, anything I tell you, will just fall short... The flavor of these little peppers (Believe it or not, they ARE sweet) is just potent, exquisite, sublime... And the funny thing is that some people call them "Mysterious", because once in a while, there may be one that stings a little, but nothing to make you regret being alive... The ones I like the most are the yellow, orange and dark green ones... Dear Lord... I can't say anything else... They are just too much... I am telling you, if you are ever lucky enough to try them, you WILL NEVER want to eat any other peppers...

My sweet Vierk, I know nothing about mexican salsa... Have never heard of it... But, I can tell you, puerto ricans make beautiful salsa songs... Our most well known salsa artist is "Oscar D´León"... There is NO OTHER like him... Another venezuelan pride!... He is called "El diablo de la salsa"... And this theme has traveled around the globe... "Llorarás" or "You will cry"... Enjoy!...

Sugplum, welcome to my blog!...

Yes... It's beautiful music, indeed... It's unreal the amount of wonderful music that is made by venezuelans... If you know any venezuelans where you live, you have to know that we are extremely happy, sweet and warm people and we start a party wherever we go...

The first video really touched my heart, because it's a tribute to a band that was over 75 years old... And the rhythms they plated were so many: Guaracha, cumbia, merengue, pasodoble, bolero... You name it... They always had a special performance in New Year's Eve... Such sweet memories...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Mic, to be honest, I selfishly started this blog just for me... For it to be part of MY profile... As a way to open a little window into MY world... I was not going to allow comments, but I forgot to disable them...

Anyway, what we have here in VENEZUELA, are "Ajíes dulces/Margariteños/Misteriosos) that are the most delicious little peppers in the world... If you ask any venezuelan what he or she misses from this blessed land, one thing they will mention are these peppers... The characteristic flavor they add to food is just to die for...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Well, I prefer quality, over quantity...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

These two are just the craziest things... Funny lyrics and funny songs... Two of the songs here, are: "I love you, but I can't stand you" and "Drunk Commando"... I love you, Venezuela!...

Ash,

Fargo, fantasies are free and as long as you are not hurting anyone, I don't see anything wrong with them... Have fun!...

Sweet Mic, you can google all of the singers' names... Not a single mexican soul, there... "Mexican" is not a language... Both mexicans and venezuelans speak Spanish, but (Thank God) we have very different accents... Venezuelans have a very beautiful and neutral accent and that's why (I'm so proud!) we are chosen to do voice overs...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

Wow... This is too much... This is the traditional Christmas rhythm of my state (Zulia), our "Gaita"... And that's my favorite gaita "The Chosen One"... Those lyrics... "Heartmeltitis" in progress...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

We are soooooo cool, that we can turn a tennis court into a party/concert room!!!... I love you, Venezuela!!!!...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

MEXICAN??????????????... MEXICAN????????????????... MEXICAN??????????????????... Omg, should I kill you now, or wait a little bit?...

Miclee, can you please READ what it says under the words "Free Cover"?... That's V-e-n-e-z-u-e-l-a-n vibe, baby!... The best of the best!...

Billo's Caracas Boys...

I am having a bad case of "heartmeltitis", watching and listening to these beautiful videos... I love you, Venezuela!...
