A Decade of Babalú-ing

Most of the blogs I read have only been around for a few years.

The one blog that inspired me to go out and tell my Cuban-inspired stories, Babalú Blog turns ten today. TEN! That's like a hundred in dog years!

I'm very proud to be associated with Babalú. I've been part of the Babalú family since 2007. They have consistently kept the truth about Cuba in the news (and in your face!) day after day.

So, Felicidades, Babalú Blog on your 10th. May there be many, many more!

I know it's only June, but there's a story here which applies. She makes the most fantastic Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread, for the uninformed, is a beautiful thing. Simply put, it's pieces of biscuit dough dipped in sugar and cinnamon and "glued" together to create a lovely baked, caramel bread ring. Seriously. It's a beautiful thing. So, back to the Christmas tradition thing and how it applies today... Eric's mom and Lucy usually make the coveted Monkey Bread the day before Christmas. It's their tradition.
