Thank you for sharing. It is nice to see the different influences in the architecture. I could use a good mojito right about now, too!

I have heard of that cookbook and will check it out. For now, I am trying to get the "crema" for the Cafe Cubano to look and act like this recipe indicates, but it isn't working - I've nearly whisked my arm off! If anyone can make this work, please let me know! I'm going to have to have a Mojito just to get me through another go at it!<br /><br />–LanaTopsy Turvyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06753904424265493646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431222471431838086.post-66307057470849184832009-05-01T14:53:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:53:00.000-04:00As a Tampa native, I so love your posts! I now call the Pacific Northwest home, and if there is one thing I miss it is the fabulous Cuban food you can find in Tampa. Try Clarita's Cocina cookbook for truly authentic Cuban recipes! This cookbook does not dissapoint!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5431222471431838086.post-1061985172075981102009-05-01T14:45:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:45:00.000-04:00Thanks for the trip to Cuba this afternoon!<br />LeslieLa Maison Fouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03823093111074286855noreply@blogger.com
