You Know You’re Cuban if…

November 9, 2015 By Marta Darby

My husband, Eric and I went to a party the other night with some Cuban friends. There was a live Cuban band and lots of dancing and wonderful food. There were friends I hadn't seen for a while and so there was lots of hugging and kissing and gesticulating and talking. Loudly, of course. And the music! Well, I just had to move, you know? He made ...

Cuban Poster – Comida Cubana Subway Art – A Giveaway

July 18, 2014 By Marta Darby 108 Comments

My kitchen is, along with the rest of my house, freakishly small cozy and cottage-like. There's barely enough room for one person to turn around in. Having two people in there trying to get a hot meal on the table necessitates some intricate choreography. I'm truly not complaining. I am glad it's not very big. If it were, I ...
