Helpful Hints and Recipes: CUBA LIBRE

CUBA LIBRE

Here is a delicious, simple recipe that I got from oprah.com when I was searching for a recipe that I had seen on her show. It's almost like a rum and coke except for the lime juice added.

CUBA LIBRE

1/4 cup (2 oz.) dark rum

1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 1 lime wedge

Coca Cola

Fill a highball glass (or like me, just a regular glass) with ice cubes. Add rum and lime juice, and top off with Coke to taste. Rub rim of glass with lime wedge, then garnish with wedge. (To serve large groups, mix batches 2 parts rum to 1 part lime juice to 4 parts Coke. Pour over ice in individual glasses, then rub rims with lime and garnish with 1 wedge per cocktail.)

Well, Marcy and I will be doing our first flea market gig tomorrow. We are really looking forward to it. We still are on the waiting list for an inside table or booth so we will be outside. If the weather is as nice as it was yesterday that will be no problem. So we are hoping that Saturday and Sunday there will be okay weatherwise. I hope I am not too tired to put my experiences on this blog tomorrow evening. It should be fun.

This evening the Knights will have an honor guard at one of the funeral homes here in honor of one of their members who has passed. He will be in full regalia and I am going to try to get a good picture before he leaves home and I will try to put it on here later. Now I have to go and get some chores done, do some packing and get ready to travel. Have a great day and a great weekend.

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
