A few weeks ago while driving the brand new Nissan LEAF (post coming soon, I promise!) around New York City, I spotted the Statue of Liberty near Central Park.

If you want to join in on the WW fun (would love it if you do ), please link up your post below. I would love to see your Wordless Wednesday photo!

This picture was taken in August of 1979. As you can tell by the picture, I was TERRIFIED! When my Dad propped me up there and let me dangle in the air to take a photo of me, I was so scared. I tried to smile because I had eyes on me but I really wanted to cry. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Now that I look at this picture, it makes me laugh and proud that my Dad wanted to preserve the moment. Yeah, what a moment that was. LOL Happy Wordless Wednesday! If you want to … [Read more...]

October 10, 2010 by 3 Comments
Since July of this year, I started a new trend here at New York Chica where I give a special Shout-Out to those bloggers who had a great post (at least I think so ;)) for the week.

When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, I've got to get a recipe up on my blog for Sabroso Saturday.

Like any other morning, I drank my coffee with one of my favorite magazines like Everyday with Rachael Ray trying to get inspired with one of the recipes.
