Thanksgiving in a Cuban Home…
is something you'd pay to watch and be a part of. But being Cuban means the front door is always open and unlocked! No one knocks. You can smell either coffee or some frijol or carne my mom's cooking, from the minute you pull up to the drive way. And for sur...

The Depot, A Train Ride For Locals
I recently put on some fly shoes and called a friend: "hey, going to eat at The Depot. Want to go?"We showed up and was jubilant to see it's street placement. As I got off I-20 and made a left onto Boulevard, the next big thing you'll see is the Depot. On ...

Obama, Racism Still Exists, Really.
Atlanta is still racist. I was starting to get used to the sorrows of a majority black and white city. Sorrows that are seen by way of incult people and absent cultural tolerance. And then Saturday happened. I had a well paid cooking gig in Buckhead; 16 people...

Carrot Ginger Soup w/Tarragon & My B-Day!
This week has been a whirl wind. You don't want to know. Really. S*** hit the fan, people got on my nerves and I had to get real aggressive with others.
I almost chucked my pumps at a creditor, but then I thought he wasn't worth a $400 replacement.

WHAT DO 5 DAYS REPRESENT?
I wish I would have found this picture sooner as it would have been plastered all over my screens, fridge, bathroom wall, car door, and anywhere else that could support its mounting. But I didn't so I won't dwell on it. Though when I look at the picture, it ha...

Living Under Pressure!
I don't know why I haven't been here since July. It's not like I've fallen in love. Or hit the jackpot. Or even decided to lock down a sugar-daddy. You know, things that would without a doubt keep me from sharing my life with you. But I'm back. Not sure if I'm...
