I'm going to New York! Yes, that's right. I'm so proud and humbled to share that I've been invited to be a part of the 12th Annual Congress of the Central Cultural Cubano de Nueva York (Cuban Cultural Center of New York). The theme this year is "Cuban Cuisine: del casabe al mojito." René Portocarrero, “La cena” ...

A Decade of Babalú-ing

June 28, 2013 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

Most of the blogs I read have only been around for a few years. The one blog that inspired me to go out and tell my Cuban-inspired stories, Babalú Blog turns ten today. TEN! That's like a hundred in dog years! I'm very proud to be associated with Babalú. I've been part of the Babalú family since 2007. They have consistently kept ...

June 25, 2013 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

My mother-in-law has a wonderful Christmas tradition. Yes, you read that right. Christmas tradition. I know it's only June, but there's a story here which applies. She makes the most fantastic Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread, for the uninformed, is a beautiful thing. Simply put, it's pieces of biscuit dough dipped in sugar and cinnamon ...

Hello, Outdoor Movie Nights

June 24, 2013 By Marta Darby 8 Comments

I know this might sound odd, but at the beginning of every summer, we make a Summer Bucket List. I may just have to blog about it soon, but today is not that day. We've always been pretty intentional about the things we choose to participate in and the places we go. I think it's a holdover from being homeschoolers for so long. ...

Summer Movie Must-See: Monsters University

June 17, 2013 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

We are kind of serious movie nerds around here. If you've been reading this blog for a while you already know this. We're also serious Disney fans and faithfully worship at the altar of the gods at Pixar. (Oh, you know what I mean. Don't get weird.) You would think that with no young children in the house the days of ...

Thirty.

June 16, 2013 By Marta Darby 8 Comments

My girl is 30 years old today. Let me tell you about her... She is the real deal. She has the most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen. She doesn't like to hear the word, "no." She has a raucous, distinctive, infectuous laugh. She feels things deeply. She is a fiercely loyal friend. She is tenacious. She is oh-so-very ...

Thanks to all who entered this giveaway. I can't tell you how much I love hearing a little bit about all of you. Especially about when you came here to the U.S. and where you're from.
