I ventured out to do some serious grocery shopping. Luckily there was a new Publix (Florida based store) where I loaded up on inexpensive “Badia” herbs, and spices, Goya brands and things that are localized to Florida and that I may not find in California.
One of the joys about living in different regions of the US is the vast difference in culture and gastronomic delicacies. The bummer is when you leave the area, you become hard pressed to find the same ingredients elsewhere! The Cuban, Spanish and Caribbean flavors have been fun to experiment with and something that I hope to recreate in the west.
We were looking forward to meeting up with the son of our good friends the Lucia’s. Ryan is stationed at Ft Walton in the Army following time in Afghanistan. He will be shipped over to Italy the end of the month. In the end his schedule did not allow us to connect. We might have to catch up with him in Italy! Ha!
