Really liked it, the music was great. As a dominican, it felt good to see part of my culture on screen (latin caribbean culture in general). I felt it was a bit slow though, but I am no expert.

I love it, very good movie

Made me sad actually.

The big dream for the kids is to go to college and get a job. My family and I bought into that dream by immigrating here in my teens, and my parents made a huge sacrifice for me to get here.

Now? life is mediocre. Way too much student debt, poor mental health, struggling marriage: none of us are educated on that. It’s a nice romanticism of the sueñito, but overall just reminded me how much struggle the Latino community is under.

Definitely think it was a step in the right direction w/ Latinx leads but even LMM acknowledged the lack of Afro-Latinx and Black representation. Movie-musical wise it was done well and hopefully there will be more!

Appreciate it for what it was. Loved it as a piece of representation on the big screen for my kids to see.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
