I'm trying to find a recipe for a dish I had in P.R. It was a dessert and was kind of the texture of cream of wheat. I think it was made out of cornmeal, but the closest I've seen to resemble this is rice pudding, but this dish was definitely not rice pudding. Is this ringing any bells with anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Hi out there!
I am moving to Rio Piedras with my 4 yr old son so that I can attend Nursing School. I know no one out there and very little about the area. Any help is greatly appreciated! We are likely arriving in July.

SHRIEKING FROGS HAVE MAYOR HOPPING MAD
January 19, 2005
HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- A tiny frog with a huge shriek has invaded the Big Island and won't shut up.
Mayor Harry Kim is looking for $2 million to begin controlling the spread of the nocturnal coqui frog, a beloved native in Puerto Rico but considered an annoying pest in Hawaii since hitching a ride over in shipments of tropical plants around 1990.
The frogs have been mating easily -- and shattering quiet island nights -- ever since.
Aside from the noise, the frogs have a voracious appetite for spiders and insects, competing with native birds and fauna. And coqui frogs are adaptable to many ecosystems and breed heavily in Hawaii, experts said.
Kim said the Big Island, the local name for the island of Hawaii, will once again ask Gov. Linda Lingle to declare the coqui frog infestation a state emergency to help clear the way for state financial assistance.
The $2 million is needed to launch a combined state, federal and county program to combat the frogs, Kim said. He made his plea Tuesday before state lawmakers, who will consider the request later this year.
Kim said he declared a county emergency in April over the frogs, but the state waited to see if the federal government would offer assistance, which it did not.
Spraying of a citric acid solution on the islands of Oahu and Kauai have curtailed coqui populations there, but limited spraying on Kim's island has done little.
"I think the response from all of us has not been timely enough," he said, noting that experts suggest he focus on controlling the coqui's spread, rather than eradicating it completely.
"I kick myself in the back every day for not getting started more aggressively," Kim said.
More than 150 communities on the Big Island are now infested with the coin-sized frogs, named after their high-decibel "ko-KEE, ko-KEE" chirp.

Hi! I haven't been to PR since my mission at the end of '78. All the people I know from there have moved to the States or I've lost contact with them. My wife and I are planning on visiting the island around April 6. We'll probably stay just outside of San Juan for a week. We'd appreciate recommendations of things to do and see and places to eat around the entire island. Also, are there any festivals or other events going on at that time? Thanks....
