Planted in PR
Приєднався 12 вер 2014
Hello there, I live here in Puerto Rico. I've always wanted to live here since I was a child but wasn't able to. I grew up in Staten Island NYC. In my 20's, I moved to Pennsylvania. I finally had an opportunity to move to Puerto Rico so I took it. I dropped everything I had and came to live in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. I don't have much money to make videos so many of my videos are of me doing things I have to do or things that are low budget. I'm having fun with it. I have plans for this channel. I'm working really hard in the background trying to secure a nice piece of land so I can grow a farm of my own. Maybe one day, if God permits.

I find it hard to believe myself but it's real, here's the proof. I have a lizard that recognizes me and is not afraid to get near me. This lizard is aware of what he's doing and it seems like he really wants to be my friend. :-)

Growing Tomatoes in Puerto Rico. From seed to Harvest.
Переглядів 388Рік тому
In this video I go through the whole process of growing tomatoes. I have this on my porch. It's not quite perpetual yet but I am getting a semi-steady supply of tomatoes (I eat them too fast). Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video and if you are a grower yourself, I have real growing tips as I aspire to be able to grow many fruits, herbs and vegetables. :-)
Big Harvest from a little pepper plant
Переглядів 76Рік тому
I have this small pepper plant that's just loaded with sweet peppers. At the time, I had already picked peppers from this plant, there were actually about 5 more peppers on it the day before. I grew it from a cutting of another plant. It turned out good. :-)

The music is hidous. You should at least used topical music
The place is very nice, but it should be rebuild.
Mano ahí vive mi tía. Pasaste a por su casa. Bro follow the water up to el panapen.
What ate the spices that you folks add in.
Lol, I don't understand the question. LOL, I ate the spices in the pasteles but unfortunately I wasn't able to eat all of them myself.
mas arriba ay otros charcos bien hermosos como el panapen y el charco negro
That charco negro, that one is closer to me. That water hole is from the quebrada anones. The entire land was given to my great grandfather by the church. i am living in bayamon now. I am so stuck because i have a bunch of people ruining my life because they've been trying to stop me from ever claiming the properties that are supposed to mine. i can't even live there anymore until they finish all the court cases and it never ends while they try to kill me. Anyway, I am no longer making videos but I used my cameras and my editing skills basically incriminate the but, some police are corrupt and the tribunal are the most racist people, most classist people and they just decided to hate me for all the wrong reason. Sorry about reporting this like this but yeah, i was going to go to the charco and it's very near my home in bayamon. I would really like to go there but, I'm losing hope as I am convinced that the tribunal is to let them kill me with the machines that they illegally pointing at my home 24 hours a day to drive me broke and get me sick. Maybe someone in the US government can help me but.... i have zero faith in them. Regardless of all the BS they have tried, I am absolutely sure that there will always be another corrupt person trying to mancha me with lies so they can team up on me while their people are slowly getting busted, assasinated, lose their jobs, lose their spouses or go to prison. If they just obey the law and treat me as a normal human, all of this would've been done with long ago and i would've ended up with the 3 houses on my grandmothers house, one more in naranjito by judgement, and at least 4 more houses including the house I live in in Bayamon. Sorry to spill this on you in a comment but I feel so defeated right now.
I LOVE this recipe... except I make mine in a food processor (which makes a better chop) rather than using a blender (which produces a puree that is too watery and too finely ground). The flavor profile is perfect! I also put mine in ice cube trays and freeze the sofrito cubes solid, then put the cubes in a plastic bag in the freezer. This way I can use as much or as little as I need in different recipes. Keeps great for up to 6 months! (After that, it loses a bit of the fresh taste and color.)
I did that with cullantro (recao). I don't do it much now. I just cut the leaves fresh. I'd like to say something weird. My Mom makes fresh sofrito like this. Honestly, I don't grow everything. I know it sounds weird, but, I kind of like garlic powder better than fresh garlic. The reason why is because I pick the fresh peppers, the recao, the onions. I don't grow everything so I just take some store bought sofrito and add a few spoons. It really levels the taste from what I lack. The thing is, with what I grow, it taste very fresh. So no matter what, it taste really good. It's really a lazy way. I kind of cheat. I like my sofrito chunky. 🙂 Thanks for the comment.
Looks really delicious but it certainly could have been edited alot more ... (rather than watching her dice all 23 bananas, etc)
A lot of people like it. At the time, I wasn't very experienced with editing. It took me every day for 3 weeks to edit that video. I had multi camera shots and lots of footage. I wasn't very experienced with Davinci Resolve at the time. Still though, I'm happy with the result. It's my most viewed video and it has many likes. 🙂 Thanks for the opinion.
What is the ingredients in the sofritos, please!
Peppers, sweet peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro/culantro, and Oil. ua-cam.com/video/vHoTRTEZq_k/v-deo.html I have a video of me making sofrito. Every detail is there.
It sounds like you need to climb those steps once every other day for 6 months, then once a day for the rest of your life.
Lol, every few weeks I keep thinking of going back there. I can't explain it, it's old but... It's still very nice town to visit.
@@plantedinpr886 it’s certainly a unique small town
🇵🇷🍅🪴🇵🇷🍅🪴
Incomplete. Didn't say how to cook and for how long.
Yeah, I realized that 2 years after the video was uploaded. I generally do 30 - 40 minutes but I cook them from frozen. Those were fresh so they didn't take much time to cook.
@@plantedinpr886 thank you. Just learning to cook Puerto Rican food. I love the flavors.
You forgot to show your audience that you boiled the pasteles.
LoL, It's been years since I made this video. You are the first one to notice. I guess I didn't show how to cook them or for how long to cook them.
❤ yummy good
Yummy
11:40 there is no video.
Oh my. I really have nothing to do with that. There's definitely supposed to be video there.
I really enjoyed watching mother and son making Pasteles together. It takes time for a great product and keeping the area nice and clean is a turn on for me. ❤😊👏
Thank you for showing this you did it good
I'm lazy, I use a staperler to close mine.😮 And, I grow my own banana trees. Charleston, SC😊 I USE ACHIOTE OIL ON THE PAPER ON MY PASTELLAS. 🎄Feliz Navidad!🎄 🤗
lol
We have it and it’s an ok… book. Not the best receipts. Their pernil asado is in ok recipe. Nothing like Cocina Criolla. We cook a lot at home.Puertorrican culines is yummy!
Sometimes you need to just modify the recipe's according to your gut. I don't always like the exact proportions they use in the books. I tend to modify my recipes a bit each time I make the same thing. 😀
This was so sweet! She taught me some tricks, I love the old timers! They teach you nice old school tricks of the trade! I’m making mine this weekend & will definately use her tricks!! Are you guys in PR filming? Also, Goya & Le FE is now selling MASA made of green banana in the frozen food section for 12-14 dollars! I’m going to try it this year!
Lol, the masa is the easy part. Pasteles take a long time to prepare. Every time I get a rack of green bananas, I make accapurias. No, my mom lives in Florida. I live in PR and went to visit her. She was actually doing it to teach me how. I decided to film it. I'm so glad I did. If I decide to make a batch of pasteles, I will definitely be using my own video. 🙂
😅I was wondering when you were going to help your mom ?
Hey, I helped her. :P
Well I loved your Moms way of explaining was very detailed. Very good
Nice to see someone that goes through all the right steps and right seasonings to make these amazing pasteles, I’m make them almost the same use my electric grater to speed the process also add the ham, m, pork skin diced in with the pork and go the extra step of adding the garbanzos, raisins, olives and the pimentos sliced once we start assembling one at a. time so everyone gets a bite of everything in one. I know it’s hard labor but at the end it is rewarding. It’s much easier to get a family gathering to help and enjoy right after.
Yeah, they take long to make. They are good though. My mom doesn't use the garbanzos or raisins. Yep, lots of labor. I remember when I was a kid, the women here in PR used to get together and made an assembly line and split up the task. They made hundreds of Pasteles together. I remember being sent out to pick and cut the cleanest, nicest banana tree leaves so they could finish. :-) Thanks for the comment and have a merry christmas and happy new year. 🙂
Good morning! I remember waking up to beautiful morning sunrise at the crack of dawn to the "call & response" of the Gallo's. That view reminds me of Barranquitas. Thank you for sharing. It's been a while. Happy Thanksgiving. Saludos desde El Barrio de Spanish Harlem, NYC.🗽🚖✈️🇵🇷💃💯🎄
God bless this lady, pasteles are a lot of work but they are soooo good. Great job sweetheart! Dios te bendiga. I make my masa in my Vitamix and don’t have to cut my guineos or yautia so tiny. My heart goes out to her.
Really good pasteles. My only addition is garbanzos,and raisins in the meat. My Cuban grandmother put them in. Love them!
Don't watch this they don't show how to cook them only make and put together do you steam boil bake? WTFudge
Boil it.
This may be a stupid question but, do plátanos ripen if left on the tree? I bought a Puerto Rican plátano tree a week ago and it would be cool if come harvest time if I can prevent all my plátanos from ripening by just picking off the tree what I need throughout the year. I appreciate your help!
ITS BARRANQUILLAS
Barranquitas
from Cindi Muchas gracias David. Your camera work is by far the very best I've seen on all my video walks on UA-cam. I really feel like I am back there.. I'm a Jibara at heart.
from Cindi Love it Thank you I used to work in a gift shop on calle Fortaleza
from Cindi Thank you for showing views off the side of the road. When I lived in Puerto Rico, I loved going up to hills south of Rio Piedras but never saw all the towns at the highest points. Also the roads were not good in 1962.
Thank you for sharing this incredible images very entertaining video 💯...👌
