My mother always hated gandules for some reason and would always use pinto beans. I tend to make things a lot more traditionally. Anyone looking to learn how to make some stuff could go here. Not my site but the recipes are pretty close to what I grew up eating: http://www.elboricua.com/recipes.html
Pasteles this year are lacking but for new years I might go full on puerto rican for the meal. This year it was much more traditional for Christmas dinner.
A comer lechon!
Arroz con gandules y a beber ron!
