So JJ what is your status now? are you still in NC, I'm about to move overthere from houston TX, because we have some families out there. we are so lonely here. I face the same problem you had in NC; is hard to start all over but sometimes you have to do it and make the best out of it. Hope all is well.

Yes I'm still here. Things are going much better now, working over a year for the same company, my English is better every day more, this is helping me a lot as I can understand people and they can understand me anywhere I go and the most important is that I know how to go…. I don’t need the map anymore!!!!!!.

HE, he

I cook Dominican food almost every day at home after work I do cookout in the back yard too; the meat here is very good. I like to go out in the weekends “Golden Corral” this is my favorite restaurant they serve American food.

JJ, have you tried the carolina barbeque on a bun with cole slaw and sweet bbq sauce and chased down by some carolina sweet tea? You try that and I'll have some chicharones para ti with batata on the side or yuca. They have excellent steaks there in Lowe's foods. I nice fat marbled ribeye would be good grilled to perfection with some corn on the cob and a baked potato.

No yet, but maybe next time you come back to NC we can have a great time having a cookout in my back yard with some cold Presidente beers.

Now depending on where you are at that might be vineagar or catsup based. Both of which are mighty good. BTW, don't forget the hushpuppies, fried okra and pecan pie! Buen provecho bacahata!

Hi, JJ, I live in Mississippi and I am the only Dominicano anywhere near here. Plus there are a few mexicans but most people here don't even really understand what latino or dominicano means. it is really really sad here but I hope to move soon back to California. Just wanted to let you know I could relate to your story
