Alejandra Ramos.to the callout, the one that made my mouth water, belonged to chef and TV host Alejandra Ramos. We spoke via Zoom last week to talk about her Boricua Thanksgiving, what it means to her and her family and how the pandemic is making them change it up this year. Her answers have been lightly edited for clarity.
She also does a mofongo stuffing, which uses the platano as the base instead of bread. You fry the plantains, smash them the same way you would make mofongo with chicharron, with garlic, with olive oil, salt, pepper, a little bit of sofrito and maybe a little bit of cumin. You mash it all together, but then it’s wetter than regular mofongo because of the sofrito. You bake it and it gives it a little crispy topping. It’s amazing.
It’s also very much about having the ability to come together in the end, to have those little moments — especially as we’ve gotten older and we’ve moved away. My brother is a former Marine, so for some years he couldn’t join us for Thanksgiving, so being able to sit together at the table is a key part of it.
But yeah, for Thanksgiving, we’re going to do a Zoom. My mom is even ordering my brother a Thanksgiving dinner because he doesn’t cook so well.
Stupid
Fkn honkys
Who the fk is Latinx?
‘Latinx’ is like nails on a chalkboard
Latinx is racist af
What if... you are alienating the very people to whom you are attempting to perform wokeness and it is being received as corporate false advocacy?
Stop trying to force this on people. So few people are on board with this term and its really really dumb to try to impose it on people who use a gendered language.
Nobody refers to themselves as latinx thx tho
Stop saying Latinx. It’s not woke it’s fucking dumb.
