Local Volunteers: Leaving a Legacy Begins at Home Well over one hundred genealogy societies across Texas thrive because of the volunteers who serve on boards and committees. These societies educate their members through programs, preserve local records through digitization efforts, and publish records in books and online, all with an eye toward making genealogy accessible to their members and future generations of genealogists. TxSGS Partner Societies, with the help of their indefatigable volunteers, are cleaning and restoring cemeteries, digitizing records, creating community histories, and acting as a bulwark to preserve their local legacy. Thank you! TxSGS Volunteers: Statewide Efforts Pay it Forward Beyond the local genealogy scene, volunteers are the lifeblood of TxSGS. TxSGS is like a small business, and a small business requires teams of people to get things done. Elected directors and leaders fulfill major activities including membership, education, development, treasurer, secretary, and district representatives. TxSGS also has standing committees that contribute to ongoing programs such as Heritage Certificates, the annual conference, virtual conferences/webinars, marketing/publicity, Stirpes, and more. At times throughout the year, each of these areas has projects that may require additional volunteer support. Being part of one of these committees or volunteering to help during the annual conference is a great way to become involved in TxSGS and “pay it forward” to the genealogical community.

[her books] are considered today to be the definitive books on island cooking." -New York Times "Its recipes are authentic, well tested, and exactly written." -Cecily Brownstone, food editor, Associated Press Puerto Rican Cookery, now in its twenty-third printing with 130,000 in print, has become the standard reference on traditional native cookery (cocina criolla). According to the San Juan Star, "the cookbook is seen and is more likely better read in some homes than the religious tome. [it] is considered a primer for beginning cooks . a textbook for home economists and it is a guide for the gourmet as well." The recipes in this book are as bewitching as an off-shore breeze, plumbing the mysteries of native dishes in accurate and easy-to-follow details that assure the success of every recipe-whether it is for Pickled Chicken or Sweet Potato Pudding. In Puerto Rican Cookery, the late Carmen Aboy Valldejuli traces the development of traditional native cookery and reveals secrets of the essence of Puerto Rican cookery-keymark to fabulous island delicacies.

The 2010 U.S. Census reported 187,611 Philadelphians—or 12.3% of the population—are Latinx. In July 2018, that census estimate grew to 14.1%. With this strong population of Latinx residents comes a variety of amazing dining spots—Mexican destination restaurants, date-night Cuban bistros, family-owned Puerto Rican establishments and Pan-Latin culinary innovators—located in all corners of the city. Here are some of Philadelphia’s top Latin restaurants: Argentine Cuisine: • Jezabel’s Argentine Café & Bakery – Jezabel Careaga is known for her Argentine empanadas, but she also has a way with tortilla de patatas (potato quiches), ham-and-cheese croissants and desserts such as torta de ricotta and pastafrola de membrillo (quince jam pie).

  • El Sabor Del Caribe / a Taste of the Caribbean (An Analysis of the Symbolism of Food in the Oral and Written Literature of the Caribbean)
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1995 Volume IV: Coming of Age in Ethnic America El Sabor del Caribe / A Taste of the Caribbean (An analysis of the symbolism of food in the oral and written literature of the Caribbean) Curriculum Unit 95.04.01 by Elsa M. Calderon INTRODUCTION The intent of this unit is to infuse Caribbean culture into the Spanish curriculum, with a focus on Puerto Rico. The vehicle for this is literature, both oral literature and written literature. The oral literature includes popular children’s songs and “refranes.” The written literature includes poems, short stories, and books by modern Latina authors. These authors use food as a symbol for identity, patriotism, religious hypocrisy, and nostalgia. Caribbean in this unit refers to two Caribbean islands that are Hispanic: Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Mexico is included, although part of North America and not the Caribbean, because of the proximity of Mexico and the contributions of a Mexican-American writer, Sandra Cisneros. This does not preclude the possibility of other islands, such as Cuba. The area thus defined as Caribbean is rich with different cultures and traditions. There does exist, however, a common language: Spanish, and similar traditions and cultures. The islands share a common or similar history. The culture is a mixture of the Native Americans, the Spanish, and the Africans. This is referred to as “criollo” (creole). The Caribbean has developed a culture of itself and different from the rest of Latin America. This unit is part of a continuum of Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Units.

  • Dine Around Options
    DINE AROUND OPTIONS The best San Juan restaurants can rival anything in London, Paris or New York. In fact, many of the island's top chefs cut their teeth in Manhattan before branching out to what some call New York's sixth borough. The best places to eat in San Juan are found in two places: Old San Juan and Condado. You'll find plenty of American fast-food options everywhere, but the best Puerto Rican food is "comida criolla," traditional dishes that are a blend of Spanish, Caribbean and West Indian flavors and ingredients. Keep an eye out for mofongo, a delectable mish-mash of plantains and seafood or beef, thick soups that are almost more like a meatloaf than a broth, and grilled seafood—lots and lots of grilled seafood. Old San Juan Neighborhood Old San Juan is located in the northeast of San Juan on a two- and half-mile limestone islet. Old San Juan is one of Puerto Rico’s treasures. You cannot resist to visit this Old Colonial City full of shops, historic places, museums, open air cafés, restaurants, gracious homes, and tree-shaded plazas. Marmalade Chef Owner Peter Schintler, has traveled to over forty countries on five continents, and worked under six different Master Chefs, from France to Asia, at restaurants such as Raymond Blanc’s Le Manior Aux Quat Saisons, La Contea in Piedmonte, and the legendary Le Cirque in Manhattan. Chef Peter first achieved notoriety in Singapore, where he was nominated as Asia’s rising star. At Marmalade Chef Peter has created a vivid and sexy ambiance “at the vanguard of elegant and contemporary gastronomy in San Juan”.
