Went there for work, but got some real Cuban rum while there along with some good mole paste. So I am drinking the real Cuba Libre and making some tofu mole tonight. Feeling pretty good right now. What are y’all up to?
I’m just sitting in a tattoo studio in Budapest about to get a couple gold finches on my arm.
Is Cuban rum better than Jamaican or Puerto Rican?
How did you survive the brutal authoritarianism of the Sheinbaum regime?
I was able to hide in the rain and fog. The weather was on my side.
very cool.
currently driving for uber/lyft, probably gonna call it early in a couple of hours. DMV fucked me up this month but two more weekends is more than enough time to make rent so I’ll be fine.
fun fact I’ve got a Crystal Skull bottle that I regularly refill with the cheapest stuff I can to make Cuba Libres with.
Glad you’re doing well comrade, that sounds like a chill evening.
I’m spending my last full day on lib island
by going out to buy souvenirs for my family members since I kinda forgot to get around to it until now. I hope I find decent stuff to gift them.That’s awesome, man. I’m jealous for that rum.
What rum did you get? How’d you bring it back?
It is just Havana Club. I should have looked out for Cuban rum in shops while I was there. I forgot and only started looking for Cuban rum in the airport no duty store, so I likely really overpaid.
I am also drinking Havana Club I buy a couple bottles whenever I have the chance. I got the seleccion de maestros, bout half a bottle left
Nothing fancy, watching Rebel Ridge. Love the idea of tofu mole. Pass the recipe!
Don’t really have a recipe. I am adding vegetable stock to the mole paste to rehydrate it and make a sauce and then adding cubes of tofu to the simmering sauce.
How did it turn out?
pretty well. Put it in corn tortillas and it was pretty tasty.
Omg yum what a great idea
You liked the veggie stock/mole combo? I think of mole as almost being sweet and chocolatey so I was surprised to read that!
I like it quite a bit. It is still a bit sweet, but the mole sweetness will vary based on the style and location. I got the mole in Puebla, which is where the really sweet mole comes from. But I was able to get mole paste that isn’t that sweet.
No worries, I’ve got the same kind of mind set. As long as it tastes good, I’m set. I hope you’re chilling out with your chow and feeling good!
mole is so good
