Simply Delicioso

I don’t run into too many Cubanitos from Miami here in the Boonies on a regular basis, but this weekend I did. Met two muchachos at a local celebration of cultures fest this weekend. One guy lived in Louisville, the other guy lived here. Exiles of a different sort, si?

Anyway, it is always nice to run into your tribe.

And while Ingrid Hoffman is Colombiana, not Cubana, listening and watching her on her new show, Simply Delicioso, on the Food Network yesterday, I got all warm and fuzzy for the Miami accent, bright colors and fabulous ceviche she cooked up. And, they filmed part of it on the beach. Break my heart.

La Ingrid will now be fighting for time in the DVR with Diego and Monday Night Football.

Tonight, I am cooking a vegetarian rice pilaf. (Fighting las libras!) So not very tropical. Pero oh well.
