PR Day 4: Mima's Birthday

images/2007-01-24.floral.jpg Mostly a cooking day in preparation for Mima's 93rd. Maritere came by with Alejandra, and ended up spending the entire day visiting and going through old photos. I baked a carrot cake, prepared some chicken and pernil for dinner, and played Snap with the girls.

Dinner was a bustle of about 18 people, and there was enough food to go around. The night's most valuable lesson was: don't buy American fruit in Puerto Rico. The centerpiece was a "floral" arrangement made with fruits. The melon was tasteless, the strawberries vile. After just a few days feasting on papaya and bananas and oranges this was an offense.
