Recently, the only news I receive from Tommy and Michael is updates on how “f***ing cold” it is in Chicago (it looks like they are having a warmer day today – high of 36!). Last night I was happy to hear that their friend’s Nikki and Lindsay warmed everyone up this weekend with a Cuban Fiesta. They made Cuban Pork Roast and Black Beans from November 11th and 12th on Mod Meals. In addition to those recipes, they made a Paula Dean Coconut Flan. Looks like a success!
I also ran into my friend Barbara at a party on Saturday and she reported she made the Cuban meal recently too! So glad to hear everyone is enjoying and sharing these recipes!

Well, the cuban dinner theme must have been in the air! My guests loved the pork, the black beans, and the grapefruit/avocado salad… they’ve asked for the recipies, and of course, credit was given where credit is due – thanks for the idea Cecelia!
