Cuba Nostalgia, Day 1 – I’m already Nostalgic

May 16, 2008 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

I already have so many stories I can’t wait to share . . .

I am so excited to be here in Miami and to re-connect with my friends from last year.

Here I am with my co-bloggers (is that a word?), the amazing Ziva, the wise-cracking Reinier, and the lovely Amanda.

It was crazy, everyone was hugging, talking, laughing, and (of course) blogging. Adam kept joking about how we were the uber-nerds of Cuba Nostalgia. "When there’s all this amazing Cuban food and music, you people BLOG??"
There’s Amy (exCUSE me – "Kikita") blogging alongside the focused Henry, and the brilliant Alberto.

I found a new best friend partner-in-crime. . . (Hi Claudia!)

And (can you believe it?)  I have a fan club!  (Okay, well, maybe just A Fan, but that’s not important right now. =D) People were actually buying My Big, Fat, Cuban Family Cookbook and asking me to sign it!  This is my fan recipe reader:  Mario along with his beautiful wife.

I feel like such a celebrity (with a very little "c.") =D

    Oye jente!Hey this is Mario (el Mandingo) the funny looking guy Marta took a picture of with his wife Michele – we also go by Mich-Mar! Is that funny or what? Us Marios need to stick together though.
    OYE MARTA! Michele and I saw you in the front dining room of the Versailles Resturant like 11:45 or so- we where going to go in and say hi but there was a very big line we could not get pass and besides you were with your family and we did not want to intrude. But HOLA from Michele and I!
    BTW – My mom and all the family here love your cookbook and it was a pleasure meeting you last night!

    MichMar, I mean Mario, I mean . . . ay caramba!,El Yayo,
    I just wanted to say, go for it, change your name! We can start calling you El Yayo, especially since it seems like Michmar is just as popular a name as Mario. 😉
    Mandingo,
    Sorry we missed you at Versailles! It wouldn’t be intruding, we would have been happy to see you since you are one of Mami’s two fans! Either way, it was still lovely meeting you and Michele.
    Besos,
    Kikita
