Props to a Great Caribbean Chef

Puerto Rico, being part of the United States, is often forgotten as a member of the Caribbean. I'm fortunate enough to be friends with--and sampled the amazing dishes of--a wonderful Puerto Rican chef, who I also count as a Caribbean sister: Chef Daisy Martinez

Daisy is a truly amazing person. One who is not only talented in the kitchen but truly kind of heart--I know this first hand from her generous emcee'ing services for the Food4Haiti fundraiser I put together after the earthquake early this year.

Since I'm a believer in "what comes around", I've started a petition to the committee of the New York Puerto Rican Day Parade to consider Daisy--a native daughter of NYC of Puerto Rican descent--as a candidate for Grand Marshall in 2011.

Please consider joining and signing...One Love!
