~ Dr. Edward H. Denkin, Podiatrist - Westport, CT, USA

 

I was struggling for years with low self esteem, anxiety, and a feeling of disconnection from the world around me. I felt lost and like I was just going through the motions of life (walking in place) without any real purpose or meaning. That all changed when I started on my journey of self-discovery and personal growth with Dr. Sunny. Through her Life Coaching sessions, I was able to identify the childhood trauma that had been holding me back, and started working on self-love to raise my vibration to help me attract the things I want into my life. I would highly recommend Dr. Sunny if you are looking to make a change and start on your own journey of personal growth.

~ Jennifer Moreau, eCommerce Specialist - Montreal, Canada

 

Following a challenging year physically, with two major surgeries and a lot of necessary healing time, I experienced a huge leap forward, back to renewed health as well as attitude with the help of Dr. Sunny Roe. The Life Balance sessions stimulated my body, my mind, and my heart, renewing my energy that I needed very badly in order regain my wholeness. I highly recommend her!!!!

~ Peggy Worthington, Real Estate Broker - Potrerillos Arriba, Panama

[News Boquete] What if?

What if Kirsten Cares For Cats did not provide food for the cats?  The young lady replied "I will see how I can give them up for adoption."  She was appreciative of my assistance as it had helped her a lot.  These 5 cats live with the young lady's grandmother.  They are adult cats and were not originally the grandmother's.   So I have a choice to make, continue supplying cat food or have cats taken from the home they have made with the grandmother to place them somewhere else entirely foreign just for the sake of a bag of cat food.  As they say, it is a no brainer.  This is where you can play a part in answering the question with compassion.  Please donate so I can continue supplying food for these cats and the other feeding stations.  I am willing to talk about the other feeding stations and the corresponding stories for each of them.  Please see the following names of the people who receive donated cat food from Kirsten Cares For Cats.

Kirsten Quimby 

FEEDING STATIONS:

Sr. Rafael, Martha, Nathalie, Margarita, Alidia, German, Cristina, Cedoina, Luis, Carol, Cristel, Celestino, Sra. Beatriz, the Feria, Daira, Gaby, Dyana, Pedro, Naty, Basty, Jacky, Lourdes, Roberto, Lisa, Gabriela and Maritza.

[News Boquete] Texas Style BBQ is back on the menu!!

 

 

 

 

 

Before we dive into this week's offerings, I want to thank everyone who helped make our 14-year anniversary so memorable! Your energy and support have been incredible—and believe it or not, the best is yet to come. We have something HUGE planned in the near future, and we can't wait to share it with you.  Till then……..

 

Be sure to sign up for our weekly email notification list:  Weekly Email Sign Up Form

To be a part of the exclusive Panama Food Club experience, you can sign up and check out our menu here:

2 Guys & A Cooler – We Cook, So You Don't Have To (doshombrespanama.com)

 

 

Let's talk BBQ and what's new this week!

 

Texas-Style BBQ Pulled Pork

One of our most requested items lately—Texas-Style BBQ Pulled Pork—is back! We made it just for you, and it was a blast to prepare. Our pork is slow-cooked over a blend of hickory, pecan, and applewood smoke, then portioned with our signature BBQ sauce and vacuum sealed for freshness.

Each portion weighs over ¾ of a pound and is perfect for satisfying that BBQ craving. We love it on a bun with pickles and coleslaw—but it's also amazing on a pulled pork pizza or loaded baked potato!

 

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Back by popular demand! We first introduced our BBQ Chicken Sandwiches a few months ago, and the response was phenomenal. We're thrilled to have them back on the menu this week.

Each package includes two hoagie buns (thank you, Sugar & Spice!) and over ¾ of a pound of juicy BBQ chicken. Made with a flavorful mix of white and dark meat, this sandwich is smoky, tender, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. Feeds 1–2 adults.

 

Rotisserie Chicken Paninis

Yes—they're back too! Our Rotisserie Chicken Paninis are a customer favorite and part of our ever-growing panini line.

We use large hoagie buns (again, thank you Sugar & Spice!), coat them with roasted garlic aioli, and layer in mozzarella cheese, rotisserie chicken, and more mozzarella. The paninis are pressed in a cast iron panini press for that perfect sear and sealed for freshness. Just heat and enjoy—ready for your dinner table!

 

Chicken Divan

Have you tried this classic comfort dish? Our Chicken Divan features seasoned chicken in a cheddar, cream cheese, mushroom, and white wine curry sauce—tossed with blanched broccoli.

We love it with rice, but it's hearty enough to stand on its own.

 

Angel Chicken

A timeless classic! Angel Chicken is tender and flavorful chicken thighs on a bed of linguini pasta in a zesty cream and white wine sauce. Think Alfredo—but brighter and bolder. With over a pound of food, it easily feeds 1–2 hungry adults.

 

Breakfast Sausage

We have a fresh batch of our Mild and Spicy Breakfast Sausage.  Our breakfast sausage captures those traditional warm sage flavors with sweet undertones.  Perfect for making little breakfast links or tossing them in your favorite recipe for a savory sausage treat.

 

 

 

These are just a few of the new items that we made this week!!  You should check out our website to see all of our offerings.  Entrees like Salmon Croquettes over rice pilaf, Cheesy Taco Casserole, Chicken Alfredo, Beef Stroganoff (with the most tender beef you'll eat in Panama!!), Grits, Shepherd's Pie, Saag Paneer, and so much more!!  If you haven't noticed by now, we love what we do.  Thank you for trusting 2 Guys & A Cooler with your meals.  It's an honor to cook for you😉.

 

If it's been a while since you've checked out our menu, now's the time! We've added lots of new options and even updated our look. I can't wait to hear what you think.

 

And keep an eye out—Chicken Pot Pies are right around the corner!

 

Click here to check out our menu:

2 Guys & A Cooler – We Cook, So You Don't Have To (doshombrespanama.com)

 

 

 

Thank you for supporting us all these years, we look forward to serving you soon

Eric, Cecelia, Chandler, Keira, Aidan

[News Boquete] A little more clarity on the new requirement for expats

Received from the Newslady's lawyer and friend:

Dear friends,

Many of you have shared your concern about the "new" Immigration rule to get your domicile registered, or a $100 fine will be imposed for the first time.

Please allow me to explain a few aspects:

1. It is not a new rule. The Immigration Law from 2008 established the obligation to report to the Immigration authorities, any change of address or domicile.
2. If you have not changed your domicile and you still live in the same place reported when you obtained your residency permit, this rule does not apply to you.
3. If you in fact, have changed your domicile, please do not enter into a panic mode, because I am sure, hundreds of thousands of residents will rush into Immigration offices and they simply don´t  not have the capacity to handle hundreds of thousands of domicile updates at once. Be patient and hopefully, Immigration will find an expedite, hassle free alternative for you to report the change.
4. Unfortunately, this is a personal affair, so if there is no other option but to go to Immigration, sadly you will have to take the time and go to an Immigration branch near you and report your new domicile.
5. One other thing is, Immigration may or may not request evidence of domicile, such as a Utility Bill, but I know that many expats' residents live on rental properties with no utility bill with their names on it. Another important aspect that Immigration must figure it out.  

Get in touch with your immigration attorney or your current attorney, if different, to find out about new developments on this important matter. Again, be patient.

[News Boquete] Attention All Expats in Panama

REPRINTED FROM NEWSROOM PANAMA

Newslady comment: It's not clear if cedula holders are also required to do this. 

This may well be another Panama law that's never enforced.

Newsroom Panama has investigated the possibility of having all of this work completed in David, and it appears that you can. I would always suggest to check with your lawyer. When you visit the Immigration Office, they will present you with a small piece of paper in Spanish with a list of requirements. Below is a translation in English of that list. When visiting the office, no shorts for men or women or you will be asked to leave. There is a Spanish 'COMUNICADO' that I will include below, which states that for the first offence of not informing the immigration department of change of address, phone number, or passport, there is a $100 fine. For a second offence, your migratory status will be cancelled, and a third offence, you will be deported.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CHANGE OF RESIDENCE

*IMPORTANT THAT THE PERSON WHO OWNS THE PASSPORT IS PRESENT

*COPY OF YOUR CURRENT PASSPORT (main page of your information)

*COPY OF THE CURRENT MIGRATION CARD OR ID CARD

*COPY OF THE REGISTERED STAMP IN THE PASSPORT

*COPY OF THE LAST ENTRY STAMP INTO THE COUNTRY

*PRESENT ANY OF THESE THREE DOCUMENTS*

              *CERTIFICATION FROM A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE OF THE PLACE WHERE YOU RESIDE

              *COPY OF THE ELECTRICITY BILL AS LONG AS IT IS IN YOUR NAME

              *NOTARIZED LEASE AGREEMENT
