As a Puerto Rican, I'm happy to inform you that Mufongo is indeed made with plantains! Glad you enjoyed one of our many many dishes and went out of your way to support an actual local, Puerto Rican owned restaurant.
Wish I could "thumbs up" this comment more than once! I feel like I have a special connection with Emily and Ed since my fiance left St Paul to be with me in PA. If we ever get back out to MN we have to stop by!
Ooooo Dragonsong! You'll love it. My dad was a high school librarian and he would often recommend that for reluctant readers because it's a good story that just pulls you in. And if you want to go all the way, well, Anne McCaffrey was a very prolific author before she passed away.
This as actually very enjoyable, even with minimal reptiles. Thanks Ed and Emily. It was very refreshing to see you two enjoying a much overdue vacation.
Mofongo recipe from my Puerto Rican mom: fry plantains in garlic and butter until the outside is barely crispy then use a mortar and pestal to mash the plantains with more garlic and bacon. They will be crispy and soft so they will take the shape of the bowl. Then you flip it over to get the dome shape. We eat it with Mayo-ketchup. Mix ketchup, mayo, and garlic to make a sauce to pour on it. We usually eat it with pork
This was so awesome. "Dragonsong" was the first Anne McCaffrey book I ever read, and I loved it. The "Harper Hall" Trilogy is one that I can read over and over again.
You guys are so awesome. You didn’t have to do a vlog for us. Please promise us that on your 10th anniversary trip that you will just focus on yourselves and enjoy it together.
Emily going up the stairs was giving me major “you think we’d find a way to get so high cause we’re magic but no- magic how many stairs fit in here!” Energy lol
you came to Puerto Rico!!!! so glad you enjoyed your vacays. Fried plantains are called Tostones, and you can eat them plain, or add some garlic sauce or ketchup or mayoketchup (best option). Mofongo is also made with plantains, you cut it in ~1 inch pieces, then you fry them until golden-brown, and then you mash them and add sides like chicken or shrimps in butter and garlic sauce.
They definitely were! I used to volunteer at a petting zoo and we had a few parrots, one of them (Max) could say a few words like Hi and Bye and he'd wave whenever he said them 😂
I just love you guys. Emily’s hair down is gorgeous! And Ed has the best personality. 100% would’ve been right there with him on the stairs 😂 we love to take the stairs on vacation but 15 flights? I’m out 😅 I’m so happy you guys are doing vlog style videos. I love getting to see a more relaxed side of you both! I’m just so happy for you guys. Watching this channel grow and seeing more and more of your personalities. You guys are awesome.
I'm glad you guys enjoyed your cruise. I personally will never go into a cruise because when I visit a country I like to explore it for at least 3 weeks. Also, what I'm about to say may be controversial but I have visited many countries in the South American continent like Argentina, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, and Peru.. my opinion is that the best food is in Peru.
I'm with Ed on vanilla > chocolate! Glad you two finally had a chance to take a vacation, you seriously deserve to relax! Looking forward to the animal video from this vacation!
I'm so heckin' glad you two finally get to take a much deserved vacation. Thank you for bringing your fans along! Hope you're both doing good and feeling rested. Stay safe and take good care, can't wait to see what else you guys are up to!
You guys deserved a vacation you work incredibly hard not just making UA-cam videos for all of us to enjoy but you also run a full zoo at the same time enjoy your time together because vacations no matter how long they are can feel very short once it’s over
So happy you guys actually get to take a vacation! Yes balconies are the way to go! Just when I thought couldn't love you guys anymore, Ed reads STEPHEN KING! ♥️
OMG, *Dragonsong*! That book was my *childhood*. It's probably the thing that sparked my obsession with dragons back in the day; it wouldn't be hard to draw a direct line from me getting that book to me owning a crested gecko today. That trilogy and the main Dragonriders of Pern trilogy were the books I brought with me to college to keep from getting lonely. Such fond memories - I hope you like it Emily!
While I'm not one for cruises, but I really hope that Emily and Ed had a great time and a well deserved rest. Thank you for saying this with all of us. ❤
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas ANNE MCCAFFREY! DRAGONSONG~~~~~~~ I hope you enjoy it. It feels like it should be right up your alley as a reptile breeder. There are NESTS. AND EGGS. AND HATCHINGS!!!
Good for you guys!! I recently went on a Alaskan cruise and it was a much needed break. I hope y’all had plenty of fun!(Sorry Ed, but I’m with Emily on this one, chocolate is far superior than vanilla!)
OMG!!! I've been stuck on Anne McCaffrey's dragonriders of pern series since I was a teeenager! They are sooooo good! And Sragonsong is a good one to start on. It's the start of a trilogy.
I'm so glad you are both taking a vacation! And I'm grateful you took time out of your vacation to film it. Neither my husband nor I have any want to go on a cruise LOL but it was really interesting to see how it all works!
1. I wonder how many times Ed mentally cussed Emily out heading up those stairs 😂 2. Vanilla ice cream is way more superior than chocolate, sorry Emily! 😂
Ah, Dragonsong. I love the Dragonriders of Pern series - and all of Anne McCaffrey's works - but Dragonsong is one in particular that I fondly remember.
I'm terrified of boats but your vacation looked so nice it made me kind of want to go. Well deserved vacation, hope it was a good one and big congrats on 10 years!
As someone else said, I do not support cruise holidays (for the Huge CO2 impact and stuff) but I totally understand that you want a holiday where you do not have to plan, so I get the choice and hope you greatly enjoyed it! It was very overdue! Thanks for taking us with you as well, appreciate it a lot 😁 I hope you can take some rest into the probably very busy late summer
Happy ten years! You deserved a great vacation! What a wild boat! I used the stairs on a cruise I went on as a teen but that boat only had like 7 floors!
At the end of May me and my family went on cruise as well and it was also a carnival cruise!😅 We all had an amazing time! The edible straws I had were the chocolate and strawberry ones, I found them to be a great alternative instead of plastic. What would you say your favorite part about it was? (Mine was the ice cream because I could have as much as I wanted whenever I wanted it)
Anne McAffrey's Pern books were a big part of my reading in middle and high school. I feel you may enjoy them. Dragonsong is one of my favorites of the series.
Help us settle the debate from this video: Which is better, chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
Vanilla!
Vanilla is better than chocolate
Vanilla
Take the best of both worlds and go with choco-vanilla swirl!
Chocolate

My sister's and I tried Mufungo last year when we went to Puerto Rico. I'm not a big plantain eater, but it was not bad. 😊
Yessir Puerto Rican gang
*mofongo 😊
@@deniserobinson8294 im not either but the mofongo I was given to try was amazing.
Mofongo is mashed plantan and I make it with some sazón,onions,red and green bell peppers and a little chicken broth.
I fully expected Emily to get to floor 17 and Ed already be there after taking the elevator because that's what I'd do. 😂
Missed opportunity
Same!
The "You must go on without me, please tell my story" vibe is me on the last five stairs
Same. Maybe I’d go to the 14th and take the last 3 flights 😂
Good thinking!!
I love how Ed has gotten more comfortable with being on camera. I enjoy seeing Emily but seeing both Ed and Emily together is just so heart warming ❤
Wish I could "thumbs up" this comment more than once! I feel like I have a special connection with Emily and Ed since my fiance left St Paul to be with me in PA. If we ever get back out to MN we have to stop by!
Love seeing Ed in video's too!! love them both together
In Emily’s defense, the bathroom lock had me shook too lol
That lady at the bar creepin’, stealing confused sneaky glances during the interview with the hognose lover had me lol-ing
I'm catching up on videos and I am at this part and I'm dying of laughter 😂
You guys really deserved that break after all that hard work you put in to your animals and channel. I hope you guys really enjoyed it!
Love the maturity level with the birds guys good job adulting 😂
I don't know what you're talking about I learned there were more than blue footed boobies 😂
they cracked near the end
Ooooo Dragonsong! You'll love it. My dad was a high school librarian and he would often recommend that for reluctant readers because it's a good story that just pulls you in. And if you want to go all the way, well, Anne McCaffrey was a very prolific author before she passed away.
This as actually very enjoyable, even with minimal reptiles. Thanks Ed and Emily. It was very refreshing to see you two enjoying a much overdue vacation.
Yes very I watched this like 10 times in a single week 🙃
Happy belated 10 year anniversary !!!! (I loved the fellow cruise ship's hognose name 'Harley' ! Too cute)

you an use pork rinds instead of bacon
This was so awesome.
"Dragonsong" was the first Anne McCaffrey book I ever read, and I loved it. The "Harper Hall" Trilogy is one that I can read over and over again.
Masterharper of Pern is one of my all time favorites!
Ditto and I love all the PERN books, think my favorite is 'Then White Dragon'
All Anne McCaffrey books are great! but I do love Pern. I mean DRAGONS!!!!
Dragonsong and Dragonsinger were my first PERN books! I love many of the others but these two are my favorites.
Same ❤
Ed sitting with the pigeons was so cute 😂
I'm happy that these two did a cruise ship tour because they point out all the nerdy things I'm interested in. For example, automatic bathroom doors 😂
As much as your reptile videos are so amazing and educational, I could get used to an Emily and Ed vlogging channel this felt really homey and lovely.
You guys are so awesome. You didn’t have to do a vlog for us. Please promise us that on your 10th anniversary trip that you will just focus on yourselves and enjoy it together.
You guys deserve this vacation. You work so hard to make content for us so it's good to see you Taking some time off.
♥
So true.
OMG ANY of Annes books are AMAZING!!! I have her ENTIRE collection!!! Hope you had a wonderful time!!!! You deserve it!
"Its only 14 flights!"
I always take the stairs just to get to my class on the 9th floor. Ed is me at the 6th floor lmao
Yay as a Puerto Rican, glad to see y'all enjoyed the food ❤ Mofongo is a classic, mashed plantains haha
Plantains are so good! And boricuas sure now how to throw down and create some tasty dishes with em 🍌
Thanks for bringing us with you!! ♥️♥️ hope you guys had a blast!
It was so much fun! 😊
I’m so glad you got some time to relax! You work so hard for us and we really appreciate it!! ❤❤❤❤
Emily going up the stairs was giving me major “you think we’d find a way to get so high cause we’re magic but no- magic how many stairs fit in here!” Energy lol
Thanks for inviting us along, I’ve never been on a cruise wow
This video has made me so excited! I’m going on a cruise in a couple weeks!!!

Out of curiosity: ¿vives en Puerto Rico o en Estados Unidos?
YUM!
@@justicierodelaliga Puerto Rico, whhyyyyy?
These videos make my Tuesday and Friday worth the busy week. Love watching all the reptile videos
100%, these videos help me survive the week and cap it off with something to look forward to on Fridays.
Did anybody else love how the birds near the end looked like they said hello with their feet it was so cute ❤❤❤
I swear I thought that's what they were doing lol
They definitely were! I used to volunteer at a petting zoo and we had a few parrots, one of them (Max) could say a few words like Hi and Bye and he'd wave whenever he said them 😂

Yes!
we're part of their lives now :D
*waves at Ed and Emily from outside their kitchen window*
*walks into house during a party with friends... All... 2.96+ million of us...*
**joins you in waving at them** lol
I love Anne McCaffrey. I read Dragonsong back when I was about 13 years old. Hope you have a wonderful vacation!
Dragon song is one of my favorite books! Thank you for bringing us along.

I LOVE dragon song! I just got a shot of nostalgia straight to the heart. That is a great series!
Aaaaaa! Anne Mccaffery is my favorite author. I hope you enjoy her world as much as I have.

I probably could never be down or depressed being around you! I hope you never change..you’re always a big ball of happiness
That series you're reading is super good! Dragonsong, Dragonsinger and Dragondrums! Super good!! Glad you had fun on your cruise :D
Anne McCaffrey books are THE BEST!

Absolutely love the Dragonriders of Pern series, wonderful series by Anne McCaffrey!
Yeah but Emily is starting with book 4 instead of book 1.
@@darkhelliadarkfire6109 thats true but tbh, thats how I started the series way back when lol
While I'm not one for cruises, but I really hope that Emily and Ed had a great time and a well deserved rest. Thank you for saying this with all of us. ❤
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas ANNE MCCAFFREY! DRAGONSONG~~~~~~~ I hope you enjoy it. It feels like it should be right up your alley as a reptile breeder. There are NESTS. AND EGGS. AND HATCHINGS!!!
That parrot place in Florida is amazing! The had a BLACK Cockatoo! Those are rare even back here in Australia!
you guys deserve it so much ❤ I'm glad you actually took time off!
Good for you guys!! I recently went on a Alaskan cruise and it was a much needed break. I hope y’all had plenty of fun!(Sorry Ed, but I’m with Emily on this one, chocolate is far superior than vanilla!)
I also just recently got back from Alaska!!!! It was amazing!!
I live if alaska haha! Never been on the cruise tho!
Though I've never really been keen on the idea of cruises (would never go on them myself) I'm glad you both had a lovely time :).
Omg I loved the Anne McCaffrey dragon books!
You guys chose two of my fav authors! Stephen King's desperation is fantastic and the Anne McCaffrey dragon books are brilliant!!
I hope you guys had fun! That looks awesome!

yay Dragonsong! (dragonsinger, dragondrums)
I love the pern books
The Dragon Riders of Pern,which is the series of the book you're reading,is best in order so you understand all the nuances. One of my fav series!!!!!
You guys deserve a vacation more then anyone i can think of ❤ i hope this video does well enough to pay for your cruise!🤞 looks like it was a blast+
Proud of Ed for climbing all those stairs! I know I couldn’t do that 😂
Ed my dude , let her go and take the elevator 😂😂 Emily has more energy than the majority of the population
lol at 6:26 that woman in the back hears about the snake she just goes into shock :DD
The Dragonriders of Pern series is my favorite of all time. Excellent books.
"I just took this from a kid" Ed, You are so funny! I ate a ton and took all the stairs on my cruise to the Bahamas and I lost 3 lbs.
You guys knew what you were doing when you said “ we saw a lot of boobies” but omg it was hilarious! Love you guys lol!❤️
1. I wonder how many times Ed mentally cussed Emily out heading up those stairs 😂

Ah, Dragonsong.
I love the Dragonriders of Pern series - and all of Anne McCaffrey's works - but Dragonsong is one in particular that I fondly remember.
Ah! Dragonsong! That was literally the first book I read of hers.
I’m so glad y’all had fun! Also y’all made me giggle when you saw the birds (kid friendly so I won’t say the name lol)
I'm terrified of boats but your vacation looked so nice it made me kind of want to go. Well deserved vacation, hope it was a good one and big congrats on 10 years!
