I've Been Spotted!

I'm excited to announce that My Big, Fat, Cuban Family is one of the nominees for Best Personal and Family Blog (I know. Shut up!) by Just Spotted 2010 Orange County Blog Awards. Thanks, guys!

Please go to their site (here's the link) and vote for My Big, Fat, Cuban Family. Please vote before Sunday, September 12th at 11:59 pm, because after that, the “polls” will be closed.

Nominee

It's very cool to be nominated in my home town. Considering I'm only one of about 40 Cubans here in The O.C. (most of those happen to be a part of my immediate family, but that's not important right now).

Excuse me while I go get the sandpaper..... (Pa' darme lija!)

Baking With Betty - Fabulous RED Goodie Bag Winner I realized late on this day, when I was already at my in-laws house celebrating Labor Day that I had Something To Do that I had forgotten about. Being a little bit A.D.D. it could have been anything from leaving the sprinklers on to not folding a load of laundry. It was when someone at the luncheon started asking me questions about how I do giveaways on my blog that I had the D'oh! FacePalm moment. Giveaway! On my blog! Big oops! Yeah, so...without further ado (and more forgetful embarrassment) the very cool and fabulous RED Betty Crocker Goodie bag goes to: ************************************************** Lissete said... Churros! Who would have thunk it??? I would love to try churros stuffed with mango jam. Yum! They would probably be great with a bit of anise in the batter and sprinkled with just sugar. Ok, I need to make some NOW! I have only...

Chipper Chicken Recipe and a Giveaway My mom taught us girls how to cook when we were very young. During the summers, when my sisters and I were out of school, she devised a rotating system of teaching us Homemaking, the Cuban Way. My older sisters were already married and gone, but the three of us younger ones, Miriam, Alina and myself still needed to be groomed to be Perfect Cuban Wives (or PCW).
