Finding Her Place

October 21, 2014 By Marta Darby 5 Comments

Have you ever seen those photos that people take of their kids in the exact same spot or with the exact same toy over lots of years? It's a wonderful way to mark the passage of time and show the child's growth and how they've changed and grown. You know I'm a big fan of then and now photos. I think they make me much more ...

October 18, 2014 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

Okay, people. Can I just tell you that I love when you talk about Cuban food? My take-away when I read all your comments was, "Wow. We Cubans are passionate in our love for our food."  That's really true, isn't it? Personally, there's something about the sublime blend of flavors in the almighty sofrito. The texture of ...

The Versailles Restaurant Cookbook – A Giveaway

October 13, 2014 By Marta Darby 59 Comments

I can't, in good conscience, end Hispanic Heritage Month without talking about my love of Cuban food and sharing a wonderful new Cuban cookbook.  Obviously I'm a lover of all-things-Cuban. Particularly the food that so defines our culture. Platanos, black beans, tostones, lechón asado, picadillo, and of course, pastelitos de guayaba. ...

I have a confession to make, I was not prepared to like this movie. But let me tell you why... If you read my post from yesterday, you know that Jonathan worked as a featured background guy on the new Disney movie, Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. And if you did read all about it, you know that I'm going to be completely ...

October 9, 2014 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

Sit back. Get some popcorn. I have a wonderful "full circle" type story for you today. Jonathan worked on the film, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day last summer as a featued background actor.  It started almost exactly a year ago when Jonathan decided he might like to give acting a shot. He signed up with a ...

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Press Junket

October 8, 2014 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

I had the absolute pleasure to attend the press junket last week for the newest Disney release, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. A day at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills? Yes, please. I had already seen (and immensely enjoyed) the film, so I was really looking forward to hearing what the actors had to ...

My Big, Fat, Cuban Family is 8 Years Old

October 1, 2014 By Marta Darby 76 Comments

I sat down at my computer 8 years ago today and started crafting my very first blog post. I wasn't quite sure exactly who I was writing for, but I tentatively introduced myself and my family to cyber-space. I crossed my fingers and hoped that maybe somehow, some way, someone out there would read the stories about my extraordinarily ordinary ...
