A principios de la década de los 50, los niños de Puerto Rico fueron invitados a un espectáculo invernal. Felisa Rincón de Gautier, la alcaldesa de San Juan, hizo arreglos para que Eastern Airlines trajera un avión cargado de nieve para formar una pelea de bolas de nieve en la ciudad capital. Esta hazaña se ha convertido en leyenda para toda una generación. Pero, aunque esta maravilla helada fue gratis, no vino libre de costo.
En este episodio especial de La Brega, Hilda Jiménez, la ex asistente de Doña Fela, explica como la nieve llegó a San Juan. Y escuchamos a algunas de las personas que lo experimentaron de primera mano. Ignacio Rivera (del programa radial Fuego Cruzado) tenía 8 años en aquel entonces y recuerda con alegría (o nostalgia?) haber tirado bolas de nieve; mientras que el artista Antonio Martorell también recuerda el evento, pero hoy lo ve como parte de la historia colonial de Puerto Rico con los Estados Unidos. Setenta años después, Puerto Rico todavía está luchando por entender el espectáculo de la nieve. La periodista y autora Ana Teresa Toro nos explica por qué.
Para conocer más sobre Doña Felisa, recomendamos una visita a la Casa Museo Felisa Rincón de Gautier.
Puedes aprender más sobre Antonio Martorell en el documental llamado El Accidente Feliz. Su retrato de la alcaldesa se puede ver aquí.
La pelea de bolas de nieve también es el tema de una pieza de la artista Sofía Gallisá Muriente, llamada 'Lluvia con nieve', ahora parte de la colección del Museo Whitney en Nueva York.
“Flora animal” es el título del nuevo libro de poesía de Ana Teresa Toro.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
