I don't usually have trouble making choices. In fact, I'm pretty clear on my personal tastes.
For example, given a choice of items in different colors, my eye (and by extension, my hand) will always choose the RED thing.
I will (9 out of 10 times) choose shoes for comfort rather than fashion.
If I have to choose a movie, it will be a light, romantic comedy, rather than an intense action adventure.
I'm not saying that I don't like or wear other colors besides red, or that I don't own high heels (Hello, Cuban woman!) or that I don't like a thriller every now and then. I'm just saying I have preferences, like most people, that are boringly predictably my own.
Given a choice between steak and chicken, I will absolutely always choose the red meat.
It depends, of course, on the restaurant, but if the menu has a beef option, that will usually be my first choice.
Unless, of course, the menu has a PAN CON MANTEQUILLA featuring CUBAN TOAST option….
At this point, the rest of the world goes a little hazy as all other choices go out the window in favor of the Cuban Bread and Butter alternative.
All bets are off now. I might even choose to wear my purple suede high heels today. 😉
[Note: Porto's Bakery has opened a shop a mere 40 minute drive from us. Thank you, God.]
the heck with the Pan con Mantequilla…i wanna see a picture of you in Purple suede High Heels! LOL …Enjoy!
I wanna see the pic of you having that pan con mantequilla that now got me drooling in front of the computer, wearing those purple heels!Could we add the mariquitas, please?
🙂
If the menu doesn’t have pan with mantequilla, take the chalk out of your purse and write it in, tee hee 🙂
Okay, so I’m like, only 2 hours from Miami, and we have a few places to get pastelitos here in Naples, including PUBLIX for crying out loud, but I am SO excited to have found a big box of frozen Cuban pastelitos at Costco. They included carne, guayaba and queso. I think that brand was “Mayeya”. It’s like they’ve finally acknowledged that we’re not all Mexican! And no, sadly I did not buy them, fearing that I would eat them. 🙁
Aha, now we have no excuse not to meet!
