It’s been quite the quiet pregnancy, cannot complain. We are getting closer to our due date of August 25th, but both Alan and I, and my Mom, think I will be early – just not clear on how early. Were you early or late on your first pregnancy? As you know, we have no clue [...]

I’ve been quiet for a while and there has been a reason. Well, there have actually been may reasons but mostly I really haven’t been cooking much and I’ve been keeping a secret. And the secret I’ve been keeping is the main reason why I really haven’t been cooking that much; that together with my [...]

My friend Marta has two great posts on how Cuban girls get groomed to be the Perfect Cuban Wife (PCW) through intense training on Cuban Home Ec.
