That is not a problem down here. French bread is found in French restaurants, never Spanish. The Cuban bakeries not only use lard they wrap the bread in palm leaves. Strips are used to create the trench on the top of the bread which is traditional for all authentic Cuban bread. Wrapping in the palm leaves when baking controls the moisture. And of course if you are making a Cuban sandwich you must have mojo roast pork. Without that it is just another ham and sliced pork sandwich. Below is Cuban bread right out of the oven.

That looks really good.....a little piece of paradise on earth.
 
Really enjoyed the Bread progrum!

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said. Just slightly bummed.
PJ missing FTs wasn't a surprise. Whenever Reid missed one after a chance at at 3 pt play...I thought Uh-oh, this not a good sign.
Hey 30-7 and seconds away from a trip to the Final Four is a good year...bout what I expected, but hoped for better. Losing sucks, doesn't matter to who.
PG play was suspect all season. The kid should've been in a SR. high school, played like one this weekend. Showed flashes at times, I bet he's back.

It was fun while it lasted.
 
I have been meaning to post this, I was talking to a friend of mine that works at a bank here in town and we were talking about getting our taxes done and ask me who did mine? I told him my sister does ours, ask him why? He was telling me that HR Block apparently if you don't direct deposit your refund they issue you a HR Block debit or credit card. Lets say you get $2000 on this card, he said that they can only allow you to take $1000 at a time off this card and it cost the card holder $35 every time they use it! So to take the $2000 it cost $70! I ask him if that was the bank taking the $35 each time, he told me no it's HR. Has any one heard of this?

No.
 
The other thing is the officiating. With us taking it inside probably 70% of the possessions, and with Auburn manhandling us, they didn't have a foul called on them, the final 9 minutes of regulation. Not one. It was like when the one Auburn kid fouled out, they looked at the stats and saw we only had kids with 3 on them, and said, "We need to even this out". From that point on, it didn't matter what Auburn did, they did not get called for it. And there were several times that UK players just got hacked to pieces under the basket.

Yep, they committed plenty fouls in that 9 minute stretch. Pretty sure I made up some new cuss words last night because of it.


They had 2 players who played 72 minutes of game time and didn't commit a foul. That's just not true.

I have had a hangover today that feels like it was created by scientists in a lab. An industrial lab. It's an HMD. Hangover of Mass Destruction.
 
Good afternoon to the D-League, beautiful day in beautiful Lone Oak a small piece of Paducah. Flood gates still in place for a while longer. Haven't been on the D in days. I had a KY friend from Arkansas come and spend 4 days watching the tournament with me. My wife has been to Omaha to see our daughter and grandson. Now on her way Home!

My friend Bill is on his way to the Villle to see his brother. My wife is afraid I| might
fall again. I don't think I can stand another one. Well I'm 66 now but my back is in terrible
shape. On the 23rd of April I'll have 3 vertebrae replaced. Another section has 3 more that has fused together. Discussion on the bone-fusion is he can't touch that and after viewing the Cat scan.

I'll eventually catch up on likes, I'm behind a lot right now. Like ever body else I'm still getting over our loss to that sweaty pig.
Will be talking about other topics soon.
I invited my friend to join us when he returns to Arkansas.
Blessings to all I'll and you too Bert.
I'll be back as often as possibly, take care all!
?..Has GostVol been bye.

Since it is almost supper time let's carry the Cuban bread and sandwich a little deeper. Cuban bread was "invented" in Tampa (Ybor City), Florida, not Cuba or Miami. Tampa's Ybor City also claims the invention of the Cuban sandwich. Cuban bread was invented at La Joven Francesca Bakery in 1895. It sold for 3 cents a loaf and was delivered to houses. The residents had a large nail in their doorframe and the delivery boy hung a loaf on the nail. Cuban bread was suppose to be eaten the same day it was baked. The sandwich was named a Cuban sandwich because of the bread. Lard and palm leaves was key. People say you can look all over Havana, Cuba and not find a Cuban sandwich. It is American. It first started appearing in Ybor City around 1900 and made its way South to Miami.

I am so hungry now I might go out and get me one. Fresh and hot and pressed. There all over the place around here and sold on the side of the road. Freshly made. I like mine pressed.

I walk in your shoes railroadkat. My back is a train wreck due to spinal stenosis and I have had 4 back surgeries. I have titanium rods holding my lumbar spine together. Of course you have constant pain and numbness but I refuse to let it get me down. I have never taken narcotics though the doctors would give me as much as I want. When I had surgery they gave me a morphine pump for pain but I did not use it so they took it out of the room. At my age I am just going to ride it out until they put me in the ground. If they dig my bones up in about a 1,000 years somebody is going to say, that boy sure had him some back problems. Yes he did. My prayers are with you. Keep in touch D-League needs your talent.

Good to hear from you RRKat. Don't worry with the "likes". We're just glad you are back. (No pun intended) Take care of that back and don't fall again.

Thanks for taking the time out to share the history of the Cuban sandwich. A good Cuban sandwich is one of life’s food pleasures and I hope you were able to enjoy one this evening for supper
