Latin America
has in Caracas, Venezuela one of the largest active social groups
of expats (expatriates) in South America. Called the Rincon
Gang or Rinconeers, they publish a regular newsletter, the Rincon
Reminder, which updates their Caracas community web site, www.Expat-Village.com
The Rincon Reminder updates are also issued to ex-Caracas Rinconeers
now living and working in over 25 countries..
The Expat-Village web-site has all the latest Venezuelan news in English.
We publish news stories of interest to expatriates, including world news, sport,
entertainment and business. We have features on travel in Venezuela, Latin
America and the Caribbean, quick food recipes, and Venezuela security alerts.
Caracas social activities are listed in ‘What’s on in Caracas’, and we’ll keep
you amused with the 'Joke of the Day' page.

Carol Marzuola's Banana Bread Recipe
↑ Click on this link to see the full article!!!
The most popular dish at the Nov. 16 "Bring some nibbles" Caracas Hash, was Carol Marzuola's Banana Bread. To share this delicious recipe, Carol is our guest Rincon chef this week.
EASY BANANA BREAD
Ingredients
2/3 cup shortening (can substitute margarine or butter)
1-3/4 cups sugar
2-2/3 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2/3 tsp. baking soda
1 to 2 cups mashed, ripe bananas
3 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
Yes, it's ok to put those over-ripened, black bananas in the freezer because they make excellent banana bread.
To prepare:
Lightly cream the shortening and sugar. Stir in all the other ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased & floured bread pans. Bake at 300 deg. for 40-50 minutes. Banana breed freezes nicely, so you can double the recipe and make more loaves for later.
Enjoy! - Carol M
