Despite the recession elsewhere things must be booming around here.
Friends of mine tried to book flights to some of their favourite
US or Mexican destinations but there were no seats to anywhere they
wanted to go on the days they had available. Finally in desperation
they told an agent to book them anywhere; they ended up in Cuba,
which was not on their radar at all.

I think they will like it as everyone else from here who has gone
there did. The big resorts are up to Mexican standards but if you go
out into the real country it's a lot cleaner, with no beggars and no
fear of crime.

           More Finger Foods

69 Popcorn parmigiana: Make real popcorn, pour melted butter over
it, and toss with fresh Parmesan.

70 Cut baby back ribs into individual ribs; sprinkle with salt and
pepper (lots). Broil, turning as needed, 10 minutes or so. Sprinkle
with lemon juice.

71 Fill endive leaves with creme fraiche or sour cream and caviar or 
salmon roe. Or use drained ricotta mixed with chopped parsley,
thyme, a little olive oil and a little minced garlic.

72 Steamed asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. That's the recipe.

74 Boil frozen or fresh edamame in pods for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle
with coarse salt. For this they charge you eight bucks.

Dips and Spreads

75 Puree white or other beans (if canned, drain them) with garlic
and olive oil in food processor, adding olive oil as needed. Stir in
lemon juice to taste. Garnish with chopped scallions or red onion.
You can add cumin or chopped rosemary with lemon zest.

81 Taramosalata: Take 3 or 4 slices good white bread, preferably
stale, and soak in water to cover for a few minutes. Squeeze out
water, puree bread with 2 or 3 cloves garlic, 8 ounces fish roe
(tarama) and at least 1/4 cup olive oil, adding more as needed. Stir
in lemon juice and pepper to taste.

82 Mix four parts cream cheese or fresh goat cheese to one part
chopped walnuts. A little spice mix (chili powder, curry powder,
whatever) is nice in here. Or, replace the nuts with roasted
peppers, olive oil and minced anchovies.

83 Boursin: Maybe you have a few Ritz? Mash cream cheese with minced
garlic (if you have roasted garlic, so much the better), pepper and
small amounts of minced thyme, tarragon and rosemary.

84 Mix three parts cream cheese, one part minced cooked shrimp, a
few mashed capers and pepper.

85 Mash four parts goat cheese with one part fig jam.
