[News Boquete] Take a break from the kitchen and let us do your cooking!!

Our Menu – 2 Guys & A Cooler (doshombrespanama.com)

 

 

I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend!!  Wouldn't it be nice to take a little break from the kitchen.  Frustrating trips to the supermarket, not being able to find all the ingredients that you need!!  We've been there.  Let the professionals over at 2 Guys & A Cooler help you out.  Our family (Cecelia, Chandler, Keira, Aidan, and myself) have been serving our high-quality freezer meals in the Chiriquí highlands for almost 15 years.  We not only have the largest selection of Freezer Meals in Panama but we bring these delicious dinners directly to your door step.  In addition to quality food that you can rely on we also bring experience.  The freezer meal space comes with LOTS of challenges.  Preparing a dinner that's designed to be a freezer meal is not the same as cooking a regular meal, then freezing it.  Thankfully we've got all that figured out.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy a delicious freezer meal from 2 Guys & A Cooler.

 

 

This week we've got some tasty treats for you to enjoy and now that our big video production is behind us, we've got some of your all-time favorites coming back as well.  Favorites like our Old Fashion Cabbage Rolls, Moussaka, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Chicken Parmesan, Eric's Kicked Up Meatloaf, Cajun Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, Deluxe and Creamy Mac & Cheese, just to name a few!!

 

In the meantime, let me show you some pictures of what we have today and I just want you to know that the pictures on our site are a direct representation of the meals that you get.  We literally take one out of the freezer, heat it up, put it on a plate, then snap a picture.  We have always been 100% honest and transparent about our food and we want you to know exactly what you will be getting.  No funny business😉.  So, if you ever click on an image from our site, you can feel 100% confidant that you are looking at the real deal, no stock internet photos here.

 

Take a peek at our website by clicking here:  Our Menu – 2 Guys & A Cooler (doshombrespanama.com)  If you are not currently a member of our site, no worries just fill out our quick sign up form and you are in business.  Be sure to sign up for weekly notifications as well (scroll to the bottom of our menu page to sign up) as our menu is very dynamic. 

 

Let me begin by officially announcing that we have Chili Crisp!!!  If you are not familiar with Chili Crisp, let me explain.  Chili Crisp is a condiment that can be added to virtually any food.  It's loaded with umami flavor and delivers a wonderful texture to whatever you add it to.  We are totally addicted to this stuff so I imported several cases.  If you have never tried this amazing food topping, I would suggest giving it a try.  The spice level is on the low to medium side and the flavor is off the charts!!  It's perfect with eggs, rice, beef, chicken, pizza,  we even top off our camembert with it when eating cheese and crackers.  Get wild with it and be sure to let me know what's the craziest thing you put it on.

 

 

 

Keira (our daughter) has really been exploring her love for baking and I am loving watching her take her art to the next level.  This week she prepared a delicate Japanese Style Strawberry Short Cake.  Unlike the American counterpart, this shortbread is incredibly fluffy, has a beautiful crumb and a delicious flavor.  Simple and perfect for 1-2 adults.  This cake is prepared fresh and will last 2-3 days in your fridge.

.   

 

 

We've also made our twice baked loaded potato.  This delicious meal is jammed packed with everything you've come to love about loaded potatoes.  Sour Cream, Cheddar Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Lots of Butter, Chives, and of course a perfectly cooked potato.  Great flavor and texture in this wonderful meal.  Each portion has over a pound of food in it and can easily feed 1-2 adults.

 

How about a little something from the South?  This week we've made our creamy, buttery, cheesy southern grits! Our slow cooked grits are made using only the choicest of ingredients.  Real butter from Grass Fed Cows, Top Shelf Cream, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, and of course lots of Love!!  This dish is perfect by itself or works as a great side.  Add some sauteed shrimp to this dish for a perfect shrimp and grits experience!!  Each portion weighs in at just under a pound.  Perfect for 1-2 adults.   

 

In the mood for a filling sandwich.  We've made our 100% beef Sloppy Joe Mix and it is delicious.  Tender ground beef with smokey BBQ flavors. This sandwich set up comes with a pack of Sloppy Joe Mix and 2 hoagie buns (from Sugar & Spice) that we include for free.  As you can see from the picture the portions are great for 1 or 2 quick dinners.   

 

 

 

This week we also have Gallo Pinto (Vegan), Tibetan Lentil Soup (Vegan), Veggie Burgers (vegetarian), Pumpkin Sage Smothered Cheese Ravioli (vegetarian), Our Italian Meat Sauce, Baked Spaghetti, Thai Green Curry with Chicken, Indian Saag Paneer (Vegetarian), and LOTS more!!!!

 

 

We always have a little something for everyone.  Look forward to seeing you soon.

Eric, Cecelia, Chandler, Keira, and Aidan

[News Boquete] Message for U.S. Citizens: Final Opportunities to Return Voted Ballots!

Return your voted ballot now!

 
Remember U.S. embassies and consulates are not polling places.  Same-day, in-person voting is not available outside the United States.  Many states require voted ballots to reach local election officials by the time polls close on election day (Tuesday, November 5).  U.S. citizens who want to participate in the 2024 U.S. elections from overseas should have already returned their absentee ballots to their local election officials.

Never received your ballot?
 

If you registered to vote and requested an absentee ballot prior to your state's registration deadline, but have not yet received your ballot, you can complete and return a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) and return it to your local election office.  The FWAB is available at www.FVAP.gov.  If your regular ballot arrives later, complete and return it as well.  Your FWAB will only be counted if your regular ballot does not reach local election officials by your state's deadline.  Your vote will not be counted twice.

RETURNING YOUR BALLOT:

If you plan to drop your ballot off at the U.S. Embassy in Panama City, to be returned to your local election office, we recommend you do so no later than October 4, during normal business hours.  Please ensure your ballot is addressed to your local election officials and is either placed a postage-paid envelope or bears sufficient domestic U.S. postage.
 

U.S. Embassy Panama specific drop-off instructions: Upon arrival to the Embassy's front gate, notify Embassy guards that you are dropping off your absentee ballot.  Guards will then escort or direct you to our ballot mailbox, located just inside the front gate. 

 

If it is more convenient, you can have a friend or family member drop off your voting forms or ballots at the Embassy on your behalf.  Please ensure that this is done during normal business hours.

Missed the U.S. Embassy in Panama City shipment deadline?

If your state allows, you may be able to return your voted ballot to your local election office electronically.  You can also consider returning your ballot via an express courier service at your own expense.  Ballots sent via express courier do not receive standard postmarks, so voters using this method should confirm delivery on or before November 5 prior to payment and shipment.  Check your state's voting procedures at www.FVAP.gov for guidance.

If you have previously registered to vote and requested an absentee ballot but it has not yet arrived, some states allow voters to email or fax their voted, signed Federal Write-in Absentee Ballots to local election officials.  Review your state's voting procedures at www.FVAP.gov carefully for guidance.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT OVERSEAS VOTING.

Please help spread the word to your friends, family, and colleagues that now is the time return your ballot if you are voting from overseas.

Have Questions?

Please contact the American Citizen Services unit at Panama-ACS@state.gov.  You can also contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program directly at Vote@FVAP.govConfirm your registration and ballot delivery online.  Learn more at the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) website at www.FVAP.gov.

[News Boquete] LET'S HELP OUR FELINE BUDDIES!


Did you know that there is a local lady who has been helping cats for 15 years in Boquete?
Her name is Gleyda Tapiero. Actually she has 50 cats at her house in Alto Boquete and feeds other 50 cats in the area.
She has taken cats to the spay clinic every month for the last 15 years.
So, now, at DogCamp Boquete Consignment Depot you can buy gift certificates to spay or neuter cats and you can donate cat food!!!
Everything about cats that you will donate, will be for this lady and all her cats.
Thank you so much for your help!
