9008617072?profile=originalLike many of you, I’m a big fan of Mexican cuisine. Being Cuban, I also happen to have a sweet tooth, but in my experience, original desserts aren’t exactly Mexico’s strong suit; those I have found tend to be imports from elsewhere, like flan from mother country Spain and tres leches from Nicaragua. I have also for the most part not found distinctive drinks that are non-alcoholic. An exception on both counts is one of my favorite bevvies out there: horchata.

9008614658?profile=originalStill Searching for bin Laden’s End


Megan Mcardle writing in The Atlantic says that if revenge is a dish best served cold, she finds the death of Osama bin Laden pretty unsatisfying.

It's not that she regrets his death on moral or even tactical grounds, it's just that, as she sees it, those that bin Laden killed are still dead and will be dead forever.

And what also died on 9/11 was an American way of life that seemed more trusting, less paranoid. Or at least more innocent.

And The Best AirlineTravel Sites Are?

We’re suspicious when research shows this or that airline, web site or hotel was voted the best, because we know people and statistics don’t tell the truth.

On the other hand, when results jibe with what we know and have researched on our own, we believe.

Then there’s the all-important method the researchers use to get their results.

I had a wonderful opportunity of traveling in an airline that’s, well let’s just say different from the other leading airlines. I am talking about Sir Richard Branson’s well-thought out creation, Virgin America. So, what’s so different about Virgin America? Well, for one, the airplanes have a unique interior to them. It doesn’t feel like you’re entering into a regular airplane. The mood lighting throughout the airplane and the elegant seats add to the sleek interior.

Now, I am somewhat of a scare
