"This is marinated skirt steak that is cooked in sauce. In Colombia this is eaten by many families every week (my husband had it every Wednesday). Serve it with white rice and beans, avocado, and an arepa or corn cake. The recipe makes more hogao than is needed. Just drop the leftovers into your beans!"

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
