A bunch of us went to Cuba Libre (fine Cuban cuisine) in Philly for
dinner. I tried a mojito for the first time. Delicious. I had a second
one. Later I stood up and walked a few feet and the room started to tilt
and I damn near fell on my ass! Delicious but it must've been 151 rum. A
dangerous cocktail. I forget what I had for dinner, but there's no
forgetting the mojito.

The first time I had one was at our girls' reunion - 5 of us from high
school get together every year to get drunk and act naughty, san DHs
and kids. It's one of my favorites now. One killer hangover if you
let it, though.

Ooh Ohh I've been there!!! Just about a year ago!
My heart got broken there, actually, but that's an entirely other story.

We only went for drinks. I had 3 mojitos. I think they offered me 151 rum,
but I declined. 80 proof rum is strong enough for me, thanks!

It's a gorgeous place. We were at the upstairs bar. The food looked awesome
but we had a Phillies game to go to so we didn't stay for dinner. If I ever
get back down to Phila I would like to go there for dinner, memories of
"some of you know who" not withstanding.

Sheryl,

Three mojitos??? WOW!

We had to make reservations a month ahead of time. We did get the power
table upstairs in a corner by the windows looking out on the room. 🙂

I've only ever cooked with frozen yucca. I boil the frozen pieces till
tender, drain thoroughly, then slice into sort of chunky fingers. Then I
fry them in a skillet with a little vegetable oil until they've browned.
While hot, I sprinkle them with salt. We eat them as a snack.

Sounds like they'd make good fries? ;-)
I'm going to have to give these a try then.

Thanks!

Sheryl,

Did I say my heart got broken there?
A girl has to drown her sorrows somehow.....!
Seriously, It was hotter than hell that day and I don't think they really
hit me until after we got to Citizen Bank Park (need I state the obvious
that someone else was driving?).

Yeah, I had 3.

Don't remember much of the next couple hours though. :-)
