I have these often. Cuban / Spanish is by far my most favorite food and it is one of the nice things about living where I do. We have a lot of new Cuban restaurants opening up fairly close to where I live because they are moving out of Tampa and Miami. My daughter lives in Ocala and she found a nice Cuban sandwich shop about a mile from her house. It is the Real McCoy. The owner moved up from Tampa to get out of the big city. Great food.

As long as it's real Cuban bread.....be careful for many of the sandwich shops and restaurants to pass off a Cuban sandwich on their menu as authentic, when in fact, they are using french bread or something else. If it's not real Cuban bread, baked with lard, then it's not a Cuban sandwich.

I will turn my thoughts to another winning football season next year and a good bowl game to attend.

Love the gridiron & diamond too.

Hey y'all. Still licking my wounds a bit. And will be until BBM. Don't do football much.

I understand. I'm that way, Basketball 24/7/365.

Spanish style food is a regular at my house also. Cuban bread, black beans, yellow rice, Mojo marinaded meats, etc....we love it!!

This is unrelated to UK sports, but has anyone else here tried Publix store brand premium coffee? I'm on my 3rd cup this morning and, I must say, it is really good. A nice surprise.

Ain't no Publix near me.

I didn't know that they were in Tennessee.

Yeah, man, we have them all over the city, but I'm not sure about further up into TN.

Ben and sawnee, you guys are spot on. When I first [posted on the current situation I had not first read you two's post. Good stuff. FCC

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.

So give me a 2 star front line and a 2 star backcourt who is 4 foot tall but can dribble, fast, and shoot 58 percent from 30 foot. I'm going to win some games. FCC.

 

[OldEvilleCat]

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.

Not sure but I think I spotted Mrs. Rooster in Scottsdale last week.

 

[FutureCityCats]

Nobody ever officially set a pick for Herro so he could catch and shoot off it. Herro's man always got through. As a picker, I would have got frustrated and set at least an illegal pick. I don't think that happened. FCC. .

 

[Sawnee Cat]

That's what I like about the South

Sorry, Don, but any woman under 40 is jailbait in the D.

Is that Greenville KY?

Just to be safe we better stick with these beauties.

Not if I have enough Ben Franklins.

Isn't 60 the new 40? The girl in the picture might be a grandma. You never can tell

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?

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.

Eric was one of the best passers out of the post that we ever had.

The same old ones still work for me. Scared the hell out of the dogs as they hid behind the loveseat.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Agreed. 4-year player and 1,000 point scorer, too. Heard he coaches girls HS ball in Lexington these days.

I've watched us lose several games this year and never said a word, but the things I was seeing last night struck a chord.

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

UK offers John Calipari a lifetime contract.

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.
