Alternatively we can watch V blow up Parliament again.

Anyone in particular? :-)

Florida mostly sucks, but you'll miss Cuban food if you move away! ;)

lareinadeluz November 6 2007, 03:05:42 UTC

hehe! I know! Thats why I'm on a quest to learn how to cook everything my grandmother has made for me ever...so when I do manage to move, I can hopefully recreate my own Cuban food ;-).

Yay! Although I haven't a drop of cuban blood, I was born and raised in Miami (and known as La Americana to my friend's parents), and made sure I learned to cook it when I left. I'm pretty darned good, and have found that no matter where you are, there is some funky little store that sells plantains.

I did, however, have my mom ship me a little shaker of adobo and bijol.

I've made Cuban dinners a couple times now for my Scottish/Irish/English friends, and they are amazed, they've never had anything like it. Oh, and my boyfriend and I did find a rather good and somewhat authentic Cuban restaurant in London. It was funny to me though because there were pictures of Castro everywhere - can you imagine that in Miami?! ;)

omg! that place would be burned *down* in miami!

but yay for the prospect of *some* cuban food in london! i wonder how they get their frijoles negros? i've not yet been able to find any in the grocery stores in England/Ireland...although perhaps you can get the dried beans at some more upmarket places than i've been.
