Don Francisco’s Coffee Casa Cubana Is Like Coming Home
In the middle of the crazy that is Downtown LA, there is now a respite from city life. The new Don Francisco's Coffee Casa Cubana is the place you never knew you always wanted. (Well, I know I've always wanted a place to get wonderful Cuban food in Los Angeles, but that's not important right now.) I want to say right up front that this is not ...
Cuban Heritage Day was EVERYTHING
Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium happened and Los Angeles Cubans came out in force. Because it was a very full weekend, I'm still trying to gather my thoughts in a "Wow. Did all that just happen?" kind of way. I'm going to try to describe the weekend with a basic chronology and from my own personal point of view, starting with Saturday night. ...
Texas Forever – How You Can Help Houston
My daughter, Lucy has been out in Texas for almost a year. She's recently moved back to California but is still remotely working for the same company and she happens to be out in Austin this very week for work. Of course, this is also the week that Texas is getting pummeled by Hurricane Harvey. The images of the devastation have reduced me to ...
Food From Around The World
You may be wondering what I do in my spare time. You know, when I'm not galavanting around Southern California dancing in a MiTu Abuela video with Elvis Crespo or seeing the latest Disney movies or throwing parties. I cook, of course. And eat.

Elvis Crespo, Abuela, and Me
My real life consists of making meals, doing laundry and dishes, changing sheets and playing with my grandson. During the summer we also entertain quite a bit and do the normal hot weather stuff, like swimming and taking treks to the beach. I still maintain that it's a charmed life, but it's a very typical life in our very typical bedroom ...

All opinions that follow are my own.} We start making our Summer Bucket List around this time each year. The days are already growing longer and warmer and we usually like to do more than just the regular beach days. Enter ...
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 – Movie Review
A few years ago when the original Guardians of the Galaxy came out, I have to admit that from seeing the trailer, I didn't think I would like it. (I know. Don't judge me.) But if I've learned anything in all my years of reviewing films, it's that most times you can't count on the trailer to give you a complete picture (pun intended) of the entire ...
