Kailee Reese Samuels
(The SOS, #4)
Publication date: July 4th 2017
Genres: Erotica, Romance
Kaci agreed to the most important question of her life.
And then she had her fiancé taken hostage.
He played her game and trained for battle.
And now he is completely unprepared to lose.
Loving her once, Sal fell for her eccentric, wild pixie. She used her abilities—aiming her target to get revenge—but Kaci stumbled into a dangerous love, putting Sal through a gut-wrenching hell.
Can Sal ever forgive her sins of the past?
With the questions on the table, one inescapable truth looms before their relationship. His calculating mind and intimidating body built for the greater good, leaving Sal changed. No longer the curious submissive boy of the past, his new outlook is one of defiance, kink, and control.
Will Kaci embrace the changes – or – is the end closer than she ever imagined?
There is nothing he can do—
No praying on his knees for forgiveness
No bargaining with the devil to save their relationship
In this heartbreaking battle, Sal will lose.
In the fourth and final book of The Story of Salvatore, Sal Raniero begs to reverse the clock as reality leaks into his perfect bubble. With his love of the fetish world shoved to the backburner, he learns not only the meaning of love, but how precious time is.
The war begins when Sal rages into Sugargrove—
Nothing safe from his wrath
Nothing sacred in his path
…including the Hope he longed to keep.

"These women just teach others how to hate men, me I will love and worship my husband" — Lady berates feminists
In a video, a woman criticizes feminists of this generation, claiming that they just educate women to despise males and cheat on their husbands.

Enraged by feminists' behavior, the woman released a video in which she called them out for deceiving other women.
She claims that the definition of a feminist in this generation is someone who solely cares about detesting males and disobeying social norms.
The woman declared that although she is an independent woman, she will never be a feminist since feminism is essentially the propagation of anti-male sentiment.
As a responsible wife, she will, in her words, respect her husband, wash his clothing, and kneel to serve him meals while he takes care of her.

In her words;
"What I understand about this generation feminists is, hate men, don't do what you're supposed to do as woman for a man."
"Do not worship men, do not worship your husband. If your husband do small mistake like this, divorce him, don't stay in your husband's house.
Be a stupid woman, work hard because you don't want any man to control you."

"They hide their man yet show us their body parts" – Gideon Okeke takes a swipe at female content creators
Renowned Nollywood actor Gideon Okeke has criticized female content creators on social media for posting pictures of themselves online.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate pointed out in a lengthy post on his Instagram page how content creators hide their relationships while exposing their most private parts under the guise of making entertainment.
He also talked about how these women use phrases like "My body is my business," "You can look but can't touch," and "You can't tell a woman what to do with her body" as compliments.
The actor continued, saying that since everyone is a vigilante on the streets, all he is doing is advocating for safer streets and the growth of better men.

"You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors so that's all you know" – Kemi Olunloyo blasts Priscilla Ojo following her viral statement
Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of Iyabo Ojo, was severely rebuked by well-known journalist Kemi Olunloyo for declaring that she will never date a man who is less wealthy than her.

The young fashionista recently discussed the value of financial matching in dating relationships in a podcast.
She believes that she cannot date someone who is more financially successful than her since he would have to have the same level of drive to support her.
Her statements, however, caused quite a stir online as several people felt them to be highly provocative.
Kemi Olunloyo bashed her, pointing out that her mother dated pastors and governors when she was growing up, so it's not all her fault but rather the result of her upbringing.

She wrote …
"No woman is above anyone because of money. You grew up around a mother who dated Lagos governors and pastors, so that's all you know. Priscilla think outside the box.
Go fix your dru.g problems. A video of you blowing nitrous oxide balloons with the Marlians is about to come out.
Young lady you can't spike food or drinks with that. Go file charges against Naira Marley. You're an adult. That's not your mom's job. Nothing lasts forever"

Above are clips from an MSNBC and a CNN interview with people who saw strange lights in the sky just before/during the Chile earthquake. Just as documented before the 2004 Tsunami, the 2008 China quake, and the 2010 Haiti quake, there is video evidence and many witnesses who saw aurora borealis type lights in the sky. It is NOT a natural phenomenon to see such lights before/during a natural earthquake, however, such a lighting effect IS a common side-effect of HAARP waves coming back down from the Ionosphere. This is very damning evidence.
A bright glow is not a precursor to a natural earthquake. A bright glow was reportedly seen during the time of the Haiti earthquake. Pravda.Ru reported The Russian Navy reports that the U.S. created the earthquake in Haiti, the article archived on NoLiesRadio. A bright glow was seen during the time of China's last powerful earthquake. There is documented evidence that it was created by scalar weapons based on a wedding party video that showed plasma discharge lights in the sky before that earthquake. A bright glow was seen and reported by hundreds of people, locals and tourists, during Vanuatu's 7.3 earthquake in 2002. The writer witnessed that bright glow there during that quake around 4 a.m. Ni-vans, the Republic of Vanuatu's indigenous population and one of the World's oldest living cultures that inhabits a remote and pristine tropical paradise area, reported that they had never before seen a bright glow during earthquakes. (Click here to read more from this article)
Another gauge to check for HAARP's responsibility is the Alaskan Induction Magnometer which basically shows whether or not HAARP is on or off at any particular time. Before/during the 2004 Tsunami, 2005 Katrina, 2008 China quake, and the 2010 Haiti quake, HAARP was indeed turned on and turned up to very high levels. Before yesterday's quake HAARP was turned on once again, this time at very low frequency, for about 8-12 hours ending about 5 hours before (just like Haiti) the quake hit. Not only this, but the USGS actually registered a 2.5 rictor quake in Alaska at the same time as the Chile quake! There are actually 2 HAARP facilities in Alaska, one in Russia, one in Norway, and one in Puerto Rico, unfortunately none of which have an Induction Magnometer in place to check if any of them were fired up in tandem.
There is no officially known numbers of separate HAARP stations worldwide, some say 3-4, 4-6, others as many as 8 to 10, the most well known being in Alaska and Norway (remember the Norway spiral? That happened over a HAARP station). So this technology heats up the ionosphere (an electromagnetic-wave conducting a layer of electrically charged particles acting as a shield from solar winds 62 miles above the earth). Remember there was an earthquake in Alaska today at a scale of 2.5 at the same time as this earthquake in Chile which was at a scale of 8.8, you could draw a straight line on the map between these two locations (Click here to read more from this article).
Above is Juan Andres Salfate on the Chilean conspiracy show, La Conspiración, talking about HAARP with subtitles in English. In Breaking News today, Lori Price, Managing Editor of Citizens for Legitimate Government(CLG) has implied that HARRP could have been involved in Chile's monumental 8.8 earthquake. CLG highlighting HAARP today concurs with a growing number of scientists and the public aware of the HAARP weapon of mass destruction and its geoengineering capacity to trigger "natural disasters" for imperialist political gain (Click here to read more).
To conclude, I'll just leave you with this USGS chart of Worldwide Deadly & Destructive Earthquakes over the past 100 years. Isn't it interesting that we've had a HUGE spike in deadly and destructive earthquakes since the invention of HAARP? Coincidence? You be the judge.

Replacement Laptop Battery for Dell NVWGM
Product Description
- Any new NVWGM battery should first be fully charged by leaving it plugged in overnight. Once a computer battery is fully charged it will no longer accept any more power. It is a common practice to leave laptops plugged in after they have been turned off so that the battery has a full charge the next time you use your laptop. It is probably fully charged within 5 hours.
- A brand new NVWGM notebook battery is in a weakened condition since it has not been conditioned yet. Condition and break in your new battery by performing 5 partial discharge and recharge cycles the first week you receive your new battery.
- Run on battery power without the AC adapter cord at least once a week to keep the NVWGM battery cells active and at their peak potential. When your laptop is plugged into the power adapter the battery goes to 'standby mode' while your laptop runs directly on electricity from the wall outlet.
- Even though your battery indicates it is fully charged, your battery will return to a weakened state again in a few months if it does not get some exercise through partial discharge and recharge cycles while running on battery power alone.
- If your NVWGM battery has not been actively used 2 months or more, condition your battery again with 5 partial discharge & recharge cycles to increase the batteries capacity and run time.
- Don't run your battery all the way to empty. Your battery will have a longer service life if it receives shallow discharge and recharge cycles. Research has shown that the useful life of the battery will be much longer if you begin to recharge the battery any time before reaching 20% of the remaining power capacity. Recharging the NVWGM battery even after 10 minutes will not reduce the battery's life span as lithium batteries do not have the memory effect which was found in older NiCad battery technology. NiCad batteries have never been used in laptops, even the earliest models.
- Never run your battery below the 2% critically low warning point. If your battery is run below this point it may not have enough energy to even recharge. This may effectively 'kill' your NVWGM battery.
- Avoid using the CD or DVD drive as the motor consumes a fair amount of power.
- Turn off your wireless finder if you are not using the internet.
- Remove any devices plugged into your USB ports or other ports.
- Close out programs you are not using. By minimizing the load on your CPU, sometimes you can avoid having the cooling fan turn to its high speed mode.
- Increase your memory to 4 Gigabytes. This creates less work for your hard drive. Data is temporarily written to your hard drive when your memory is not sufficient to hold all the data on the many pages you may be accessing.
- Reduce the brightness of your laptop screen. This is the number one drain on your battery by far.

Well, that's probably because I made that stat up. (FACT: 63.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.)
I'm pretty sure most diets do fail, though, on account of their requiring you to eat significantly smaller portions of cake - and, let's face it, that's a trade-off no one wants to make.
Still, for you foolhardy few trudging on in blatant defiance of Mother Nature, your genetics, and the Baskin Robbins large chocolate Oreo shake, here are some motivational visuals sure to make you lose your appetite, if not that spare tire.
Now, imagine washing that all down with a niiice, cold glass of milk.
Feeling motivated yet?
I feel I should warn you: this next cake will guarantee you'll never, EVER, want sprinkles again.
Sometimes you don't need icing or sprinkles to Wreck a cake, though. Sometimes, all you need is a can of fruit filling.

Savory Tartelettes: In The Kitchen At Design*Sponge
I live for the little things in life, the simple and little things that are enough to make us happy and brighten our day. Being contacted by Kristina, one of the editors of Design*Sponge was definitely one of them. I think I read her email about four times saying out loud "You would like to do a "In The Kitchen" feature with me?", "vraiment?", really? I love Design*Sponge, I love the articles, the features, the styles. I have discovered so many great talents and artists that I felt a little very nervous participating.
Kristina asked if I could create something savory for the feature, to give their readers a bit of a change. Hmmmm….even if you are new here, it won't take long to notice that there is not one bit of savory on this blog…It's pastry, pastry and more pastry. It took about five seconds for me to decide I was going to make: savory tartelettes! After the initial nervousness disappeared, I did start to look forward to baking and photographing a savory item. I know, I know…I made tartelettes….What can I say? Can't help it!! These bacon, green onions and parsley tarts filled the house with the wonderful aromas of my childhood and my home back in France.
One thing that we love to make in my family as an easy and casual meal is a savory tart or quiche with a side salad or soup. It was our Saturday night dinner growing up and still is, even though I am miles away from my family. The crust and the egg filling are simply a springboard for all your favorite ingredients and spices. We enjoy variations like salmon, dill and leeks, chicken, oregano and fresh tomatoes, sausage, rosemary and spinach….the possibilities are quite endless once you let your taste buds allow the ingredients to come together.
The tarts were so good that I am making another batch for Sunday night as my parents arrive from France and will be with us through March! I am so excited I can't hardly contain myself!! Maybe I can coax my mom into guest blogging, what do you think?
You can check out the rest of the feature by following this link. A big "Thank you!" to Kristina and Design*Sponge for this wonderful opportunity. I had a great time!
Bacon, Onion and Parsley Tartelettes Recipe:
Makes six 3-inch tartlets or one 9-inch tart
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into small slices
3 to 4 tablespoons ice cold water
Mix together the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture forms pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over the flour mixture and toss with fork until moistened. Repeat with the remaining water, one tablespoon at a time and gather the dough into a ball with your hand. Do not handle the dough too long. Wrap into a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will allow the dough to relax and make it easier to roll, keeping it from becoming tough. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface, applying pressure from the center to the edges until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Cut out six 4 inch circles onto the dough and press them into the tartlet pans (or one 9 inch pan if making a larger tart). Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
6 slices bacon
4 stalks green onion, sliced, white and green parts included
1/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 ½ cups milk
Pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium sauté pan set over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy brown. Drain them on a paper towel. Crumble them and set aside. Wipe the pan of the bacon dripping with a paper towel and place it back over medium heat and cook the green onion for a couple of minutes, just to take the raw edge off. Divide the bacon, onion and parsley evenly among the tartlets and place them on a baking sheet.
In a bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until combined and slowly pour the mixture over the tartlets. Divide the cheese evenly in between the tarts and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Individual sizes bake faster than a whole pie so keep an eye on them after 20 minutes. Let cool before unmolding and serving.
These are best at room temperature with a salad and a simple vinaigrette.

PREMIER ballerina Darcey Bussell took centre stage at the launch of a series of prints of paintings of herself commissioned by a Gerrards Cross company to help raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society.
The limited edition prints were unveiled at the Royal Opera House last month, produced from three original water colour portraits by Chalfont St Peter water colour artist Gordon King.
They were commissioned by Ever English Ltd and 1,000 limited edition prints have been produced of each portrait which will be sold either direct from the company or over the internet.
Ever English hopes to donate more than £50 from the sale of each print to the Alzheimer's Society.
The Darcey Bussell collection was the first venture for Neil Buckley since he set up the company last year.
Mr Buckley, who already has an import business, decided he wanted to start up an export business and at the same time help a charity. He has had personal experience of the effects of Alheimzer's through his late father-in-law and chose to donate part of the proceeds to the charity.
Mr Buckley said: "I have known Gordon King for about 20 years. I approached Darcey Bussell out of the blue and she was very willing to help from the start." He accompanied Mr King to the Royal Opera House to do the original sketches and photographs.
The launch also provided the latest project for website design company E-creation, also in Gerrards Cross, which Mr Buckley found through the Register of Accredited Service Providers supported by Thames Valley Business Link.
He said: "It was not only the quality of service, but the level of support that E-creation provided which was impressive."
The prints, priced between £225 and £265 are being sold either direct from Ever English Ltd at 31 Howards Wood Drive, Gerrards Cross, Bucks SL9 7HR or via the internet at www.everenglish.com

On a sunny Friday in June of 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States made a monumental decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which drastically changed the country's social and financial landscape. Same-sex couples celebrated, the nation's monuments were lit in joyous rainbow hues, and Americans who identify as LGBTQ+ were married in record numbers. In the years since, companies and investment vehicles have done their best to attract same-sex investors in all sorts of ways.1,2
But how do you know which companies are true LGBTQ+ allies? For some investors, the answer may be Socially Responsible Investing. Read on to learn more.
Investing in Your Convictions
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), sometimes known as sustainable, responsible, or impact investing, is an investment discipline that considers environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) criteria. In other words, SRI strategies attempt to allow you to maintain your personal values and goals by investing in companies that have those same beliefs.3
Finding LGBTQ+ Allies
How do you decide which companies deserve your investment? An excellent place to start is with your financial professional. Many professionals can help you narrow down your investment ideas until they meet certain criteria, allowing you to completely avoid particular industries that may not align with your values.
Indices That Care
Another helpful resource is the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), which rates businesses' LGBT-inclusivity from 1 to 100. The CEI is constantly updated, allowing investors to see if a company is as inclusive as they claim. Another resource that may be useful is the Credit Suisse LGBT Equality Index, which only includes companies that score an 80 or better on the CEI.4
No Sacrifice Necessary
Some LGBTQ+ investors may worry that investing with their values could limit the return potential of their portfolio. Although this notion has been floating around for a while, a great deal of research tells a different story. In fact, some studies show that companies with higher environmental, social, and governance scores and ratings can outperform comparable firms in both accounting and stock market terms. But remember, past performance does not guarantee future results.5
Don't forget, having a chat with your financial professionals is a good idea if this type of investment approach appeals to you. Who knows? Perhaps this type of strategy is a good fit.

HS TV 101: 12 Great Shows Set In or Around High School
High school: it's a rite of passage we all must endure. Some of us weep when it's over, others can't wait to say goodbye forever, but for better or worse, it's an experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. The same goes for some of the many TV series that have been set in high school. Here at Bullz-Eye, we've polled our writers for their favorite shows within the genre, and the end result is, not unlike high school itself, a mixture of both comedy and drama.
12. Life As We Know It (ABC, 2004 – 2005): Lasting only 11 episodes before ABC unceremoniously yanked it from the air, "Life As We Know It" premiered during perhaps the most cancel-happy era in television. Developed by two of the producers of "Freaks and Geeks" (maybe the writing was already on the wall), the series may have ultimately been undone by poor ratings, but the Parents Television Council's campaign against the show's sexual themes certainly didn't help. Then again, when you green light a series based on a controversial young-adult novel called "Doing It" that follows the exploits of a trio of best friends (Sean Faris, Jon Foster and Chris Lowell) navigating the highs and lows of adolescence, you can hardly pretend to be surprised when its characters discuss sex on a fairly regular basis.
Featuring a great cast of young up-and-comers that also included Missy Peregrym and Kelly Osbourne (yes, that Kelly Osbourne, who's never been cuter than she was here), "Life As We Know It" certainly wasn't perfect by any means, but it easily outshined similar shows like "Dawson's Creek" and "The O.C.," particularly in its handling of its adult characters. The series wasn't without the usual high school clichés, but the writers never shied away from edgier material, either – like a student having a secret affair with his teacher or a star jock dealing with performance issues – resulting in a smart, sweet and incredibly honest look at how sex changes everything. – Jason Zingale
11. Welcome Back, Kotter (ABC, 1975 – 1979): Despite suffering through remedial classes and acting far more rebellious than was deemed socially acceptable, Gabe Kotter (played by the suspiciously similarly-named Gabe Kaplan) still somehow managed to graduate from James Buchanan High School, but who would have thought that the dreams that were his ticket out would lead him back there? (John Sebastian did, of course, but that's not really relevant to this discussion.) With his teacher certification tucked into his back pocket, Kotter returns to his alma mater and takes on the challenge of trying to educate the new generation of remedial students. Oh, sure, their names have all changed since he hung around – now they're called Vinnie Barbarino (John Travolta), Arnold Horshack (Ron Palillo), Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs), and Juan Epstein (Robert Hegyes) – but they're still "sweathogs" all the way.
Most would likely agree that "Welcome Back, Kotter" was at its best when it was still the original four Sweathogs, i.e. before Travolta slipped away from television, put on a white suit, and found big-screen success on the dance floor, but even at its funniest, few would probably describe it as the most realistic look into high school life.
"I don't think anyone was trying to replicate the high school experience so much as they were trying to service those particular characters and write stories about them," said Mark Evanier, who served as a story editor for the show. "If you could get a good joke out of it, great…though there were times I think we settled for a decent catch-phrase."
While the words "up your nose with a rubber hose" lend credence to Evanier's theory, the Marx-Brothers-inspired chemistry between the Sweathogs helps their slapstick shenanigans hold up nonetheless. And, besides, who needs realism when you've got Gabe Kaplan doing Groucho? – Will Harris
10. Glee (Fox, 2009 – present): Is it telling that one of the most popular current shows on TV came it at only the #10 spot? If nothing else, maybe it proves we here at Bullz-Eye aren't prone to fads. Except that maybe we are, as "Glee" has made it onto our TV Power Rankings lists time and again since its debut. But this list isn't about what entertains us in the broader sense; it's about great high school shows. As entertaining as "Glee" can be, it has almost nothing real to say about the high school experience, and in fact most of the high school kids I know find it to be pretty nonsensical.
The one area that it seems to excel in as far as capturing the high school experience is in its ability to play romantic musical chairs with its cast of teenage characters. These kids are fickle, and the only guarantee that seems to come with a relationship on "Glee" is that sooner or later it's going to end. Some props should probably also be given for their attempt to zero in on the bullying issue that so seems to afflict kids today, but "Glee" chose to unfortunately treat the topic with kid gloves rather than say something truly meaningful. None of this is to say that "Glee" isn't one hell of an entertaining series, because it is, but anyone looking for something a little deeper would do best to dust off their old DVD of "The Breakfast Club." – Ross Ruediger

Household Heating Systems: Although several different types of fuels are available to heat our homes, nearly half of us use natural gas. | Source: Buildings Energy Data Book 2011, 2.1.1 Residential Primary Energy Consumption, by Year and Fuel Type (Quadrillion Btu and Percent of Total).
Heating and cooling your home uses more energy and costs more money than any other system in your home -- typically making up about 48% of your utility bill.
No matter what kind of heating and cooling system you have in your house, you can save money and increase your comfort by properly maintaining and upgrading your equipment. But remember, an energy-efficient furnace alone will not have as great an impact on your energy bills as using the whole-house approach. By combining proper equipment maintenance and upgrades with recommended insulation, air sealing, and thermostat settings, you can save about 30% on your energy bill while reducing environmental emissions.

I'm often asked if this is a good time to buy a home. Some clients are concerned that home prices may fall down the road, while others are convinced that home prices will go up.
Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability. Even though interest rates have fluctuated, they are still near historic lows. Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, a one point rise in interest rates could cost tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage!
While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life. It's important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial "comfort zone." To that end, it may be more important to lock in today's relatively low interest rates while they are still available.
Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today's market.

To be clear, the trip I took a couple of weeks ago to Puerto Rico with an NPR team was not about food. We headed down to the island to report on the economic and crime troubles that are driving people off the island and to Florida in record numbers. And though we did tons of advance research about census figures and crime statistics, none of us really looked up good places to eat.
In a tropical, Latin land, we assumed we'd be practically stumbling over savory local meals and exotic fruits.
The reality? Not so much.
When we asked for fruit juice, our options would be orange or maybe apple. And though we kept watch for roadside food stands as we drove miles across the island, we saw very few.
We also searched high and low for delicious guanabana. Alas, it took us days to find it, and when we did, it was frozen, and $5 a pound.
But here's the fascinating part. Wilo Benet, a Puerto Rican celebrity chef (we're talking Top Chef Masters), says our culinary hunt actually illustrates the strange economics of food on the island: For the most part, what's grown there is exported, and the vast majority of what's eaten by islanders – 80 percent or more, according to some sources — is actually imported, largely from the mainland U.S.
Puerto Rican mangoes and passion fruit, Benet says, mostly end up in London grocery stores. And though "we have tremendous fish here," he says, "New York will pay top dollar for it. " A fisherman "would never make [that kind of] money here."
Meanwhile, that guanabana? It was probably so hard to find and so expensive because it was shipped in from elsewhere, Benet tells me.
That's because in the middle of the 20th century, Puerto Rico's leaders pushed to "modernize" the island, which quickly transformed from an agricultural economy to an industrial one.
"Puerto Rican agriculture virtually collapsed," writes Gustavo Setrini, who studies the island's economy at the MIT Center For International Studies.
The consequences are evident in a striking anecdote Benet shared with me. Back in 1996, when he was cooking for the Puerto Rican committee in Atlanta during the Summer Olympics, he says, "it was easier for me in Atlanta, Ga., to buy a case of Puerto Rican breadfruit than it is for me to do that at my restaurant in San Juan."
And here's another funny thing: Back in San Juan, when we'd ask for restaurant recommendations, locals sent us to sushi and taco joints. "True traditional, down home-style places are not that many," Benet says, speaking from Pikayo, his contemporary, fine dining restaurant in San Juan.
There are some hole-in-the-wall-kiosks that are hard to find, he says, and a burgeoning fine dining scene. But restaurants with simple, traditional Puerto Rican fare?
Those kinds of places are hard to keep open, since modern palates demand fusion menus and American classics, he says. So unless you know a good local home cook, good luck.
Still, it's worth doing your culinary research before heading to the island, because fantastic local meals can be found, says , an expert on pan-Latin cuisine.
"Mofongo," she says — a local staple of mashed green plantains, often filled with meat or seafood — "can be a thing of wonder."
If only I had called her before I left.

This important visit will allow the orthodontist to determine if this is the right time to begin treatment.
During your first visit, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.
After we have evaluated your records, we will conduct a treatment consultation to explain all aspects of your orthodontic treatment in detail. We will provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, a written summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment, goals and estimated fees. We encourage questions from both the patient and parents, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions.
We believe that good orthodontic care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about our diagnosis and recommendations, any alternative treatments and any symptoms present that may require further treatment.
