Thankful – November 22
Today I am thankful for ... Chocolate! (and for the friends who provide it.) Thanks, Amy for your generous and gracious hospitality. Of course, I love Lucy, too. ;-) ...
Thankful – November 20
Today I am thankful... that my generous husband brings me along on his business trips so I can play while he works. ;-)I am winning, too. Did I mention I lead a charmed life? Did I further mention that drinks are FREE when you're playing? I may or may not have had 1 drink. Which in my case is one drink too many, but that's not ...
Mixing business with pleasure
We're back on the road to Vegas this weekend, but let me tell you why... My blog-pal, Amy Arnaz, wife of my pastelito-loving friend, Desi Arnaz Jr. invited us to come and enjoy a special tribute concert this coming weekend at their beautifully renovated Historic Boulder Theatre. Yes, of course we're going. For three reasons: 1) The ...
Thankful – November 19
Today I am thankful for... Guava Cheesecake. (I know. Shut up.) In keeping with my personal celebration of National Guava Month, (it's kind of lonely out here on this limb - *crickets chirp*) I made this to-die-for Guava Cheesecake. And because I'm generous and cool that way, my recipe for this guavalicious wonder is posted today ...
Thankful – November 15
There's so much that I have to be thankful for.

"Today I am thankful for..." I invite you to take that challenge. If possible, see if you can also ...
Mac Scarecrow Syndrome or If I Only Had an iBrain
I am a lover of all things Apple. Ever since I first worked on a little Mac Plus back in the 80's, I have been hooked. Right now I work on a Power Mac G5. A big and powerful beast of a tower with an external hard drive that has 1 terabyte of memory. (Okay, so I'm not exactly sure what a terabyte actually is, I just know it's a ...
Magno and me – A love affair.
There's a little island in Galicia, off the coast of Spain called La Toja. (Lah Toh-HAH) I have never been. But I know it is there. And I dream about it. One of the items on my Bucket List involves visiting the legendary health spas in this beautiful spot (I've seen photos). The actual line item on my list begins like this: ...
I do not think it means what you think it means…
Adam was looking pretty great the other day. But there was some confusion over a conversation he had with my mom. We had a good laugh over it. But we also had a great meal. Click on over to Babalú today and see the most gorgeous Roast Chicken ever - Pollo Asado. That's where you'll find the whole crazy-mixed-up story.Totally ...
Gonna buy five copies for my mother…
It started out as a piece for Hispanic Heritage Month. The OC Register asked me to write something about my family leaving Cuba. They were looking to feature Cuban-Americans, they told me. I had procrastinated on this, so I barely made their deadline. I cobbled together pieces of things that I had already written here on my blog and pieced together ...
