anyone out there have a suggestion as to a good latino-related novel (fiction or non)? I’ve read the typical classics but I’d like to get something new and fun to read. Les agradeceria cualquier sugerencia!

Another must-have for your music collection if you like Tango is Astor Piazolla. Any of his CD’s are good, but his Camorra is particularly great! It is fantastic romantic music and is also nice for dinner parties. Piazolla es uno de los reyes del Tango y la musica es tan sensual y bella!

We just saw on DVD a Spanish film called City of No Limite (En La Ciudad sin Limites). Fue excelente!
Anybody else have movie recommendations? We’re always looking for good spanish-languange films to rent.

¡Pachanga!
Dear Friends, You are invited once again to a party that a small group of us are holding jointly. This time our co-host is La Casa Latina, and the dance will be held on Penn’s Campus on the second floor of the Arch building at 36th and Locust (look for the big red door!). It is an excuse to get friends together, dance, and hear the salsa/bolero rhythms of Trio Crisol.**
Please feel free to invite your friends! We are asking for donations of $10 per person ($5 for students) to cover the band and paper supplies. We ask also that you bring some appetizers to share (disposable containers) and BYOB.
Please note: We’ll receive alcohol at the door and take it to a staffed bar. Penn’s rules require that all bottles get turned over to the bartender to open and serve and also that anyone under legal age bring only non-alcoholic for themselves. Nancy Farriss, Sherri Grasmuck, Alejandro Senderowicz, Ann Farnsworth-Alvear , Magdaliz Roura, Rosario Espinal, Laura Barbour.

Queria alertar acerca de los ultimos lotes de harina pan exportados a los Estados Unidos.
Lo siguiente le paso a una amiga a principios de este año…Aqui va en sus propias palabras:
“Desde diciembre, empece a notar que la texura de la harina pan (comprada en Philadelphia)era diferente. La masa era mas suave y crecia al
cocinarse. Parecia que estuviese mezclada con harina de trigo, pero como no senti mucha diferencia en el sabor, la segui usando como de costumbre.
Le comente a mis amigas y varias me comentaron que tambien habian notado una gran diferencia, una inclusive me dijo que la habia botado porque penso que estaba mala.
Hace tres dias hice mi arepa en el tostiarepa, como siempre hago. Al abrir el tostiarepa, la arepa exploto! Una masa caliente se me pego en la mano
derecha cacionandome quemaduras de tercer grado. Llame a la Polar y a la Goya (la compañia que importa la harina pan)
para reportar el accidente. Si alguno ha tenido experiencia similar, me parece importante reportarlo tambien.
CUIDADO!!! Esa harina ES PELIGROSA!!!!”
Despues de haber enviado este email a unos amigos, 2 mas reportaron quemaduras por arepas que explotaron al abrir el tostiarepa…
Si notan algo raro con su masa, por favor no la usen en el tostiarepa
