Havana

Last night I went out with the Bumblebees for my birthday dinner. Yes, I know my birthday was in July but it's hard to coordinate schedules and 2 months late is not that bad for us.

We went to Havana Alma de Cuba. I forgot my camera so no pictures. Me and Joy had gone there a earlier this year and the food was so delicious I made it a point to come back with the bees.

For appetizers, we had Fufu con Camarones, mashed green plantinas with sauteed shrimp and garlic. YUM! And we also got a seafood salad with shrimp, calamari and little tiny scallops. YUM! For entrees, I got the ropa vieja, I love that dish! They put the beef in a bowl made of plantain chips and it came with rice and beans. I even had leftovers! Joy got the roast suckling pig, I think. It was some sort of pork and it was delicious! DeeDee got one of the specials, seafood casserole and it had clams, shrimp, lobster and other good stuff. Ruthie got filet of red snapper with a crunchy green plaintain crust in a sofrito sauce. That was good too! I also got a side of vegetables to be good. For dessert we all shared warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. I don't think I have to say it but YUM!

I got some cool birthday presents too. Joy got me the book Me and Marley, she said pet owners seem to love the book. She had sandwiched the book between 2 tiles that I had wanted from her during the summer. Ruthie got me a set of scented candles and a knitting kit. DeeDee got me this wire coiling gizmo for my beading and some knitting accessories. I thought it was cute that they got knitting confused with crocheting cuz I don't knit. Well, I guess I'll give it a try now!
