Nurture your Nature

Arroz con leche 🇨🇷 [ASR]

It was 19.... a long time ago and Alejandra was 3 years old. Her mother Vilma was a friend of mine and a member of the wonderful family I was living with in Costa Rica.

"Arroz con leche" was the song she was taught.

Very politically incorrect these days, but most old nursery rhymes, stories, and songs are. They were written in a different time. This song is silly but judgmental and, of course, a man must be married because he doesn't know how to do anything. Arroz con leche means rice pudding and is a simple common dessert.

And like the desserts of one's childhood the song is an ear-worm that can never be forgotten.

You have been warned!
