Cuban Guac For Atypical Types & WAPO Readers
My dad's best friend lives in Paris and is a cool 50-something year old. He emails me every now and then to check up on me and exchange the good life of his city vs. the sometimes displeasing lifestyle of us Americans. I really do appreciate an email at 4 am...

Eating in Barbados. Everyday.
This is going to be a difficult follow up to the previous post on Barbados. Not because I don't know what to say, rather the good eating I wish I had right now---food I didn't cook! After cooking for 3 days straight for other people (post to come on that), I d...

Identity Crisis…
Only temporary though! I had an issue with that when I was in High School. One of my best friends from childhood swung a nasty jab when we were in 10th grade. She was crass in some biased way saying Latin people this, that and the other! BOO to her, right! I ...

Yo Quiero Pollo Asado {I Want Roasted Chicken}
I'm a hustler--I think. I'm told I get it from my wild aunt that lives in Cuba. With no food to eat on a daily, she makes it work by any means necessary. Last time I was there, my aunt Mercedes had managed to buy a chunky pig she then raised and fed for ab...

My 30-Minute Meal: Cuban Black Beans and Picadillo
Thursday Jan. 3rd, 6 pm
I'm not cooking tonight. In fact, I want to be taken out to eat.
I prepared picadillo and black beans for lunch, on a whim. Having saved myself the hunger pains of waiting an hour, I did the sacrilegious thing and used canned bean...

My First Flan on TV!
It would be a shame to introduce and begin my official food blog if I didn’t talk about flan! It’s been a traditional dessert offered in my parents’ home all my life. My understanding is that it’s a Cuban dessert. So as to not do history or any deserving c...
