I like to own movies that I know I'll watch over and over. We have quite the extensive video/dvd library. Seriously, how else could we play the Kevin Bacon Game?? ;-)And as you already know, I'm really easily entertained. So, I'm cruising through Target the other day and I found this dvd on sale:Disney does ...
Cuban-American Life
I hope you enjoy my posts about my crazy and wonderful Cuban-American life.
Sometimes I wonder how I get myself into these situations…
I do a lot of stuff. I'm not saying that in a bragging way. It's just the nature of the way my life is structured. And I'm grateful that I have the time (and the fabulous husband who indulges me) to do all the things I do. Usually you'll find me here at home in my Suburban Cuban-American Bubble, cooking Cuban ...
Documented proof
Remember at the beginning of the year when I told you I was going to be taking a picture every day this year? I'm still doing it. Every single day.At least one picture. (Ooh! So proud of myself!)And no, I'm not delusional enough to think that I'm any kind of great photographer. But armed with my really awesome camera, I can ...
Speaking of Cuban heart-throbs…
Before there was Andy.... (insert heart flutter here) There was Desi... (sigh)That's right. Desi Arnaz Jr. (be still my foolish heart...) Proud and handsome descendant of Cuban Royalty, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball (let's have a moment of reverent silence here - thank you). MY Desi. (heavy sigh) My First True Love. ...
The envelope please…
First, I want to thank all of you who left (such nice!!) comments and participated in The My Big, Fat, Cuban Family Two Year Blogiversary Giveaway of '08 (I think that name gives this silly contest more gravitas, but that's not important right now). You are the reason I do what I do and I'm grateful for your feedback. ...
In my dreams…
In my dreams, I never thought I'd be... a) Blogging. (seriously, who blogs? =D)b) Still going strong after 2 years. (2 whole years!!) To date I've written over 600 posts and you've responded with over 2300 comments. And I love that you follow me over to Babalú every other Thursday to try my latest recipes. We are SOOO ...
The Man of My Dreams!
Posted by KikitaSo after posting my cry for help, I took some of your advice. I was at the local mercado, shopping for some basic cooking supplies when I found myself in the aisle where they carry the "velitas." (Apparently they call them "veladoras" in Mexico.)I tried to remember who it was I should pray to and ...
Right Brain Dominance in Happy Wives
My husband is pretty brilliant. You could argue that that's a given since he was obviously smart enough to marry me, but that goes without saying. ;-) The official title for what he does is "Internet Marketing" which is cyberspace code for "He works to get his clients onto the first page of the search engines, such as ...
From my “Is that really for reals?” files
This morning I found this blocking the way to our side gate... Admittedly it's an amazing thing of beauty, if you can detach from the thoughts of the size of the spider that probably made it, (which I cannot because we were all in Lord of the Rings mode from earlier this week and I couldn't help but think of Shelob when I saw the ...
Cuban Voodoo in Suburbia or Mami suggests a “cocimiento”
This flu thing is really doing a number on me. I was even tempted to try an over-the-counter remedy like Thera-Flu or some such thing. But I did what any smart Cuban woman would do... I called my mom instead. My 94-year-old mother is the original Old (Cuban) Wife from whence come the tales. =D Her solution: "Dos aspirinas y un ...
