It is time to write more about food again!!
One thing I recently discovered about myself is that I really like Cuban cuisine. Florida is supposed to be famous for that and there are plenty of good eats around the area. I found this quaint little diner that serves authentic Cuban "peasant" food. The place, La Teresita, is always crowded and the locals would sit at the counter and food is served quickly and in generous portions.
We had the traditional Cuban sandwich, roast pork, black bean soup (reaaaaally goooood!), yellow rice, tostones with garlic butter sauce, and washing all the food down with a glass of hot cafe con leche. Ok, don't ask me about their cuban names cos I cant remember. I can remember their taste though :p
I finally perfected my baked chicken drumsticks. Here is the recipe, and trust me that they are really finger-licking good.
Marinate the drumsticks (or any cut of the chicken) in Worchestershire sauce, salt and pepper for at least an hour. When ready to cook, coat the chicken drumsticks with yellow mustard (yes, it is strange but the sharp taste of mustard fades after baking) and then my mixture of breadcrumbs, dried italian herbs (those pre-mixed bottled type from McCormick) and chilli powder (just a little for some heat). Bake the meat in a preheated oven at 375F for 30 mins or till the juice from the chicken runs clear. Eat with hands... woohoo!
