Third question:
Which one of these oddly-named dishes is not Dominican?

The correct answer is Amor ardiente (Spanish translation of a Danish dish). The rest are real names for Dominican dishes.

First...stick to the subject at hand...

Second...my husband is a very intelligent and open minded person, he's learned to love Italian cooking already, and loves to try new things...he's not stuck on rice and beans everyday...plus, here he has the advantage of having steak, shrimp and lobster whenever he wants it...if you know what I mean...

Pib...this last one is very hard...I'm gonna have to ask Tony is he knows...and get back to you...
