Can we borrow a cup of azúcar?

LP Journal's staff loves to eat, so when we heard that quepasa.com had launched a recipe channel, we imagined that the cool, sexy and proud would be exchanging steamy hot entrees and spicy salsas.

We are not disappointed. Recipes for sancocho, frijolada costeña, wrapped fish and coconut pudding were among the site's offerings. Commentary is also welcome, but we cringed when we saw that one asked about using black beans from a can. ¡Uy!

"Families and cultural histories are nourished at mealtimes around the world," said Robert B. Stearns, chairman and CEO, in a Business Journal of Phoenix story about the recipe channel. He went on to say the channel would attract "hungry visitors and hungry advertisers" to the Web site.

We have found that good food can be a unifying force. The only problem is how to deal with leftovers.
