“Que es El Tiki Tiki?” – an explanation

May 25, 2010 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

We just got back to California from Miami yesterday. I am just starting to sort through photos and videos and memories. My birthday celebrations extended out over the full week. (I am NOT complaining.) And I got to hang with (almost) everyone I knew or was related to at one point or another. Seriously, this trip was complete bliss. As most of you ...

May 22, 2010 By Marta Darby 12 Comments

The following post has been brought to you courtesy of Kikita. Greetings from Miami! Yesterday was Mami's 55th birthday (it's ok, she told me I could tell you) and the celebrating started early in the morning and went late into the night.

What I, Kikita, Learned in Cuba

May 14, 2010 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

Kikita here. There are plenty of things about my trip to Cuba that I haven't written about for various reasons. One of those reasons is that I went back to school this semester. School started exactly 4 weeks before I left for Cuba so I made sure to clear my trip with my teachers. I went back to study Spanish, so my teacher was happy to excuse ...

Homeschool lesson #247 – How to Promenade in style

May 10, 2010 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

Lucy was in 4th grade and Jonathan was in 1st when I started homeschooling them. Believe it or not, even back then, when people found out we were homeschooling them and that we intended to do so for as long as necessary, some would very sincerely ask: "What about prom?" Yes. They did. I don't think it ever crossed any of the ...

A Big, Fat, Cuban Family Mother’s Day

May 8, 2010 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

My big, fat, Cuban family is made up of dozens of amazing women that I am blessed to be related to. I know many of you feel the same. And because I consider (our readers) as family, I thought Mother's Day would be a great day to pay tribute to your special moms right here. Thank you for the privilege of including us as you celebrate the lives ...

In God We Trust

May 6, 2010 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

Today is the National Day of Prayer. If some groups in our country had their way today would be the last Day of Prayer celebrated nationally. I don't know what their beliefs are (or if they even have any, outside of not believing that there is a God). But I do know this: There is no way you can go to our nation's capital and continue to ...

Lime & Ponzu Carne Asada Recipe (I think I’m turning Japanese. I really think so.)

May 2, 2010 By Marta Darby 29 Comments

So there I was, cooking Cuban food and minding my own business, when I received an email from the lovely folks at Kikkoman. Yes, you know them best as the Japanese soy sauce people. They were inviting me to try some of their products. Really? You know I'm a Cuban cook, right? (I was intrigued, but not convinced.) Ponzu, which they explained ...
