Kikita here. I'm still recovering from my time in Miami. And I'm realizing just how much I miss being there.After spending the rainy days alone in my hotel room without Cuban food, Mami was on a mission to only eat Cuban food for the rest of the trip. So her first day she begins texting furiously.And gets Amanda (one of our ...

“MBFCF makes us LOL”
Isn't that an awesome title? Well, I think so and Mami agrees with me (Yes, it's me, Kikita). I also loved the name of the blog that used the above title to give our big, fat Cuban family (as Carrie says) a shout out:You can read what they wrote about us here. And if (after reading the comments section) you decide you want to buy a cookbook, you ...
VIOLETAS FOUND!
Kikita here. Back in Cali and (mostly) recovered from my jet lag. And smelling FABULOUS!While I was still in Miami, I followed some nifty (yes, nifty) advice and took Mami and myself to Sentir Cubano in hopes of finding my much desired Cuban music. Well, they did not have the coveted Cuban Music I was looking for (I had something very ...
La Que Manda
Kikita here. And no, I'm no longer alone. And no, it's no longer raining. Mami arrived late last night and she brought the sun with her. She had the smoothest flight ever (one of the flight attendants was studying to be a chiropractor so they offered her a free neck massage!). We woke up to sunshine - something I haven't ...
Sometimes it’s hard to be me . . .
The "Kikita's Alone in Florida" saga continues . . . After the Chinese food debacle (ok, so I should have known better, but I'd been traveling all day and I was tired), I decided my first order of business should be to venture out and find the nearest grocery store, preferably Publix. This choice came primarily because after dinner last night ...
Guess who’s in Miami!?!
Hello my party people! Kikita here. And when I say "here" I mean in MIAMI!! Luckily I made it just in time for thunderstorms . . . (which makes landing REALLY fun) :-) This is what my first night consisted of:Yes, I committed the major faux-paux and ate Chinese Take-Out, don't tell Mami! Email me, call me, let's get together, I'm here! :-) ...
Cuban-American Pride
Kikita here. Boy, do I have a story today! In my many dancing travels, I have made some Cuban friends. I'm sure I've mentioned them before, but that's not even that important right now. By some fluke, my friends were playing a venue early in the evening at a place close to their home. Being that we've become really close (there ...
Who’s the Adult here?
Kikita here. I'm older now, so I should behave older, right? And for the most part I do, but every now and then . . . I feel the need to let the kid in me out. So I called my younger sister (Lucy - she's 14) and invited her over for an old fashioned "sleep-over." We had a blast! We made popcorn and drank ...
Happy Father’s Day!
Ok, I'll admit it. I'm no good at sharing. (It's me, Kikita, again.) I'm not really sure how it happened, perhaps those first three years of my life while I was an only child really stuck with me and I simply never got used to the idea of sharing anything . . . And (as you may have noticed) I LOVE being the center of ...
An Unexpected Party
Kikita Here. If you didn't already know, I live with my Abuela, but she is currently in Miami and won't be back until late July. Yes, this means I live alone and could potentially throw big Cuban parties every weekend . . .But I'm just not that way. In fact, I've been enjoying the silence and spending many quiet evenings ...
