I'm a giver. That's just in my Cuban DNA. Maybe it's something in my personal genetic programming, but I have a hard time saying, "no." "Do you want me to do something that will take me lots of time I don't have?" "Yes. Of course I'll do it." I'm convinced it all started with my family of origin. Have you ever tried to say, "no" to your ...

Let’s Celebrate! Cuban Food Poster Giveaway
You're all invited to my Online Blog Birthday Party. It's happening right here, right now.

Cuban Poster – Comida Cubana Subway Art – The Winners
Reading through all of your responses to my last post and Cuban poster giveaway, I was blown away by your tender and loving descriptions of the Cuban food we've all been raised on. Remember that time I made a giant vat of picadillo? This is the language that we speak, isn't it? The language of sofrito and abuelas and cumin and ...
Cuban Poster – Comida Cubana Subway Art – A Giveaway

Having two people in there trying to get a hot meal on the table necessitates some intricate choreography. I'm truly not complaining. I am glad it's not very big. If it were, I ...
