COWBOY SALSA
We saw kids playing baseball with a bottlecap and an umbrella today. I wish I had a Louisville Slugger to give them for Christmas. I don’t know what Cuban Christmas situation is yet, but they do have something called Noche Buena, the night before Christmas, and a Cuban family has kindly invited us to join them for pig and rum.
Mabel, our salsa teacher, cooked for us. She made black beans and rice, as well as a yucca dish that has sause made of garlic, oil, and orange. Que rico, as a Cuban would say, especially since we have been eating rice and beans for days. She says she loves Texas because of what she has seen in the movies, so we let her try out the hat. Yeehaw!
