Yow

Amy & I went to Cuba Cuba last night for some Cuban fare. We've pretty much gone vege-quarian for life, but, every now and then I'll sink back to a non-vegequarian dinner if the menu provides appetizing non-veggie/fish entrees.

We started out with some Marquitas, which are planatin chips with some of their "mojo" & guacamole. Once we got our table (it was pretty crowded), I looked at the menu and only noticed 1 or 2 seafood dishes...Mahi with Hears of Palm & spicy shrimp. I've had the shrimp before and it is SPICY, but wasn't in the mood for either of these dishes. The first dish was Lechon Asada, which is basically a VERY VERY slow cooked roast pork shoulder with onions served with some steamed yucca, and, rice with black beans. Wow. This pork was so tender it literally was like butter. I absolutley loved it. The rice had some great taste to it as well, although I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. The yucca was kinda bland, and was giving me some texture issues, so I quickly passed it to Amy, who loves yucca.

The night was capped with some tres Leches cake & decaf. I saw a recent episode of Good Eats where Alton brown made some tres leches, and I started drooling. I'd been craving it for a while, and finally go the opportunity to nom nom nom some. Fantabulous!

First race of the season is this sunday...the Koppenburg. I'm going out to have some serious fun babaaaay!!!
