"The Las Puertas Tales (Los Cuentos de Las Puertas)" is a compilation of four fictional stories "based on real places and real people." "The stories are derived from true events" that author David Dexter Correa experienced during the time he taught at a mostly Chicano High School in New Mexico. The stories are richly painted on the backdrop of the fictional town, Las Puertas, New Mexico, which sits "one hundred miles of empty highway [from] Colorado. One hundred miles to Santa Fe. One hundred fi...

Taco Tuesday is a thing. But rather than going for that two-for-one taco special at Taco Bell, try making one of these easy recipes for the gang. Perfect for leftover chicken, fish, pork or steak. Whether crunchy, soft or street, we've got this covered. Instead of (or in addition to) topping with cheddar cheese, try delicious queso fresco, cotija, or Asadero cheese. Next week we will explore "Meatless Monday." Send any meatless dinner recipes to editorial@lhvc.comeditorial@lhvc.com. AL PASTOR...

Ok. I was recently digging into that filing cabinet labeled "The Differences Between Men and Women," and stumbled upon that universal issue of getting dressed in the morning. Specifically, let's talk about men getting dressed at any time. Disclaimer: I asked my husband if it was okay that I throw him slightly under the bus on this one, and he agreed because, well, it is humor that keeps a marriage alive. Or so they say. So, with a gentle nudge onto the third rail, I offer him some observations...

Ok. One of my New Year's resolutions is to "lighten up." I can think of few better places to lighten up than discussing that poor maligned condiment that is often one of the first foods to be tossed out when going on an after-holidays diet. Yes, I am talking about mayonnaise. Either you love it or hate it. Let me offer a little background. I love condiments of all kinds. I love mustard of every ilk, including Dijon, brown, spicy, yellow, and horseradish-filled. I love aioli, salad dressings,...
During these cold months, nothing beats a cozy body-warming soup or stew. Try one of these favorites and cuddle up. THE CENTRAL CAFE'S IRISH STEW Submitted by Jesse Murphy "My great-grandparents owned a restaurant in Rock Port, Missouri, called The Central Cafe. It was open for about 50 years until sometime in the 1970s. During the Great Depression, they would give out free stew and soups to anyone who was hungry. From those times to WW-II, meat was often scarce, so this stew was a special...

Ok. 2025 has just entered the building. Does that mean it is time to take a swing at New Year's resolutions? Do we decide to lose weight, get a new job, or call our moms more often? Here is what I think. It is time to restart and reboot. Like your computer or your refrigerator's water filter, sometimes you just have to reset it to see clearly. It is like a mental cleanse. Erase the board, clear the cache, start over. I cannot count how many times my computer gets "clogged up" and it just won't...

TOP OF STOVE COOKIES Submitted by Alyson Varvel Bell My great grandmother used to make these and gift them inside the small General Mills Quaker quick oats round container with a bow on top.

Ingredients: 1 stick of butter 2 cups sugar ½ cup milk 2 level tablespoons peanut butter 3 cups quick oats (quick is important) 2 Tbsp. cocoa...

Ok. Are you stressing out about the holidays? Maybe you are someone who doesn't give the holidays much attention. Or you might be somewhere in the middle. The holidays bring a gamut of feelings and depending on where you are in life, the excitement, or in some cases, anxiety, changes over the years. The meaning of the holidays also transforms a bit. When you are very young Christmas is filled with excitement and anticipation. The most stressful thing you worry about is talking to Santa. I must...

Ok. You have probably heard the phrase, "The power of the written word." Somehow putting words on paper packs a punch. The law clearly recognizes the impact of and the difference between the written word and the spoken word when they made "slander" (a spoken defamatory statement) and "libel" (a written defamatory statement) two distinct bad acts. Libel has historically been treated as the more egregious of the two, and it is not hard to see why. Writing something down gives it a bit of...

Let's be honest, the bread accompanying dinner is often the best part of the meal. Whether dipped in olive oil, gravy, or slathered with butter, dinner rolls never disappoint. Similarly, a good bun is the difference between a good and an outstanding burger/slider/sandwich. These recipes make the perfect rolls and buns every time.
