If you were our neighbors..... You might start recognizing the Cuban music and the open door to mean that the Darbys were going to be having another party. You would most likely be able to smell that amazing aroma coming over the fence and straight into your nose. "What do they put into the chicken and rice to make it smell that way?" You ...

Simply irresistible
When you first see her you're immediately aware of her presence.You are completely blown away by that beautiful smile. You are overwhelmed by how much power she seems to possess.Yes, power. She is naturally bossy and can talk anyone into anything!She talked these intransigent, rabid, anti-castro bloggers into making KISSY FACES, for goodness ...
Happy Father’s Day!
Ok, I'll admit it. I'm no good at sharing. (It's me, Kikita, again.) I'm not really sure how it happened, perhaps those first three years of my life while I was an only child really stuck with me and I simply never got used to the idea of sharing anything . . . And (as you may have noticed) I LOVE being the center of ...
Belgian Waffles Recipe – Easy Like Sunday Morning
Ask any of them: "What's dad's favorite meal?" No hesitation: "Breakfast." "What would he order?" No hesitation: "Belgian waffle." Wherever we go on vacation, or out to breakfast, he always orders the Belgian Waffle. Usually with strawberries if they're in season. So, Father's Day ...
Rich girl
Sometimes I feel like I'm really rich. Seriously. I enjoy the tremendous blessing of being the youngest in my family. I have four older sisters and one brother. I feel like I've had the best of both worlds, being the baby, I was "mothered" by my older sisters, but now that I'm an adult, they are my friends. See? Rich. And ...
An Unexpected Party
Kikita Here. If you didn't already know, I live with my Abuela, but she is currently in Miami and won't be back until late July. Yes, this means I live alone and could potentially throw big Cuban parties every weekend . . .But I'm just not that way. In fact, I've been enjoying the silence and spending many quiet evenings ...
Smooth.
Picture this:It's a super hot summer day and you're craving something sweet and icy cold, that is both filling and refreshing.And you're getting a little nostalgic for the nearly perfect summer days of your island youth.And you're 3,000 miles from the nearest Palacio De Los Jugos.There's only one answer for this little ...
YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!
Since my parents went on vacation, my Dad needed to borrow my laptop. Seeing as how I need a computer and internet to work (and so does he), it made sense for me to stay at their house while they're gone. This way I can work and feed the cats and water and make sure Adam doesn't get into too much trouble. ;-) (yes, it's ...
The game’s afoot…
I'm on vacation. Truly I am. We're swimming and relaxing and I'm even doing some scrapbooking and lots of reading. Yes. A perfectly relaxing vacation. However, I'm still connected to the world because we inhabit a world of super-techiness (is that a word?). So, I'm sitting today by the pool and I receive a text ...
My Afro-Cuban Weekend
Another fabulous post by Kikita I know I've mentioned how much I adore my African friends, so you can imagine how excited I was to have plans with them all weekend and pretend I was African instead of Cuban. On Saturday night, I was invited to the World Harvest Summer Concert where my friends from Milele would be playing.Ok, so technically ...
