A Taste of Puerto Rico in Cities Across the Land - NYTimes.com

As our parents get older or die, people tend to rely on people who make them for sale.

This reminds me of my aunt!!! It is certainly something we remember as a kids....we used to go to my aunts house....all the women migrated to the kitchen and embarked on the dish.....all the men migrated to the sports channel while us kids ran rampant all around the apartment.....there is certainly something more involved than just a dish being made....bless those that still go through the ordeal of keeping the pasteles alive!
I have many fond memories in both Puerto Rico and New York of this tradition. As a kid running around and excitedly anticipating having some pasteles. I still look forward to having my pasteles and not just during "las navidades"
