Feeling Caribbean?


Labor day weekend and it's Godmother central. My neice, her mom and the 3 Godmothers all converge for a celebration of food, music, drink, gabbing, and...more food. To honor the baby's Latin heritage we dine at La Estrella Del Caribe (Star of the Caribbean) a Puerto Rican/Dominican themed restaurant. Radha the mom devours Chuleta Frita - seasoned pork chops fried on the bone. Godmother 1 - Polly sighs over shrimp fajitas, sweetly sizzling and fragrant with non a traditional Mexican marinade. Godmother 2 - Patty savors the classic Arroz con Pollo and Godmother 3 - I happily crunch on Pernil - marbled with indecent amounts of pork butt fat. The baby tries all of it but prefers flirting with the male waiters to food. Hmmmm. Must come from her father's side of the family, since nothing takes precedence over food to a Ched female.
