Pods, 

I'm in Miami for the new year holiday, partying among the Cubans  again. 
This time I can show Linda around the grocery stores - this is where I go
to school on the subject of mojo and other sauces. When I get to the right
part of the store, I just hunker down on my knees and start reading
ingredient lists.   I raid the produce section for nasty, ill-tempered sour
oranges.   My host is non-CH so I have to go easy on the pepper content,
but I sure did grab a tray of red habs that reminds me of Jim's fields.

We had lunch in a Cuban restaurant, La Carreta on Kendall Drive.  Hmm,
deep-fried grouper chunks, fresh-squeezed lime wedges, fried boniato, and
Ralph's Righteous.  We went to the Publix grocery  on Flagler and got a
fresh leg of pork which is already marinating in mojo, and since my
self-control can get a bit creaky sometimes, I have half a red hab minced
into that marinade.

Sigh.  Anyone who loves seafood or produce would LOVE to go grocery
shopping in this town.  I just wish the zoning allowed open-fire cooking in
these apartment buildings.  I would be grilling like I did on the beach at
Assateague.
