In my case, you create a new version of an old favorite. Go to Babalú blog today and see my new and updated version of the Classic Cuban Elena Ruz sandwich. This makes me totally happy. =DIf you can't get any where you live, you can get guava jelly HERE. ...
Welcome To My Blog!
Happy Birthday to You! And you!
The following is a "dual-post." Meaning simply that Kikita did the first half while Marta did the second half. A lovely example of mother-daughter teamwork. ;-) Kikita: Today is a very special day. I want to tell you about my favorite Tia, Carmen. She is the Quintessential Cuban Woman. She does it all and does it with class. It's ...
On gratitude.
I feel weird. I am not cooking, nor am I hosting my big, fat, Cuban family for Thanksgiving this year. The hostess honor falls to my sister, Alina who, I should just add right here, is a wonderful hostess with a much, much bigger house, but that's not important right now. And we Darbys are going to dine with Eric's family, which ...
El Niño
Okay, so I did a little more than visit Desi Arnaz Jr. *sigh* when we went to Las Vegas this past weekend. Eric had to be in meetings for most of the time (except when his client wined him and dined him and took him to The Mirage to see Danny Gans, but that's not important right now). Which is why I took Adam. So that he could keep me ...
This is what my life looks like today
Amy Kikita reminded me that she had officially reinstated Self-Portrait Tuesdays last week and I totally spaced because I spent a large portion of my day driving my people to different places. So here they are.... tarde pero seguro: Kikita. On my way to work. Marta. On my way to ... everywhere else. ;-) We didn't plan the car theme. ...
I’m a fool. *sigh*
I know it's been a while since I've written anything, but I trust my first-born kept you entertained while I was gone. (thanks, Amy Kikita!) I have so much to tell you that I don't know where to start.... Okay, so my husband Eric had to go to Las Vegas to work. And because I can be opportunistic sometimes (=D) I invited myself ...
The Obsession Continues . . .
Kikita here. I'm sure you are wondering why I've hijacked the blog so consistently this week . . . well, the first reason is because I've done so many cool things . . . Helloooo Andy! But the other reason is that Mami went to Vegas this weekend so she was busy getting ready for her mini-viaje. I'm sure that she will have some ...
Andy Garcia is a golden god.
First, I'd like to apologize for waiting over 24 hours to post, but once you hear my excuse, I'm sure you will forgive me. This is Kikita and peer pressure still works on me. :-) A few days ago, I received and email from our blogging buddy Ziva (from Blog for Cuba - a wonderful blog and an amazing woman, but that's not important ...
Plan B
The plan was to go to L.A. and be sophisticated women. To be the cool people who see documentary films in L.A. The film was supposed to be about Cuban doctors. After reading the description, I had my doubts as to how truthful it would be, but I decided it would be worth it to see the film and glean what truth I could from it. Since it was showing ...
The Official Re-Instatement of Self-portrait Tuesdays
A couple of years ago Mami decided to do an art journal. She had all these creative exercises . . . one of which was called "Self-Portrait Tuesdays." The idea was to get used to seeing yourself on film. You know how we all are . . . we love to hide from the camera. Nobody likes how they look in pictures. This was an exercise in getting ...
