Did you know that Puerto Rico has the longest Christmas in the world? It starts on the first of November and ends in mid-January with our popular San Sebastián Street Festival, also known as “Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián or San Se” in Old San Juan (although due to COVID-19, the festivities were canceled this year).
Every Christmas my dear querida Abuela used to prepare her famous coquito recipe and the tradition has stayed with me. After I moved to New York to look for job opportunities, I found myself missing my family and culture.

Yes, it does. A fair amount of work, though. I guess I’m just old & tired. My mother made a wonderful eggnog, but I just buy the stuff in the store & fix it with extra bourbon. :-)

Coquito is good. Mofongo is delicious. Mallorcas are divine. In general however: Cuban food > Dominican food > Puerto Rican food.

An egg nog recipe from a noted British chef starts w/ a cooked
creme anglaise base, if you're timid about consuming uncooked eggs.
Rosemary Shrager's Egg Nog
CREME whisk smooth 6 yolks, 4 1/2 oz sugar; gradually add 350 ml whole milk heated to a simmer. Return to low heat.
Gently stir side to side w/ wooden spoon to thicken, coats spoon (overheating will curdle); cool. Can do ahead to here. Chill.
When ready to serve, add to base, 4 c heavy cream, bit of dark whiskey for imbibers.
SERVE w/ a dusting of nutmeg.

Color me prejudiced but I’m sick of all the new stuff trying to normalize non-whiteness. Illegals, preferably, but in general trying to squeeze out our great heritage.
