I used to be food adventurous, for a 10+ year window but then I married a man that doesn't like anything and had kids that like even less. 😔Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645332499222513380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-13707304738685680172016-08-26T14:20:42.459-04:002016-08-26T14:20:42.459-04:00That would be fun!

I could probably get it back for the asking. But then what would I do with it? But there was a 1958 article about some major hotel chain that was looking to develop it into a resort--I'll be on the lookout for that.Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-30456730187387876312016-08-26T11:37:19.014-04:002016-08-26T11:37:19.014-04:00Fascinating, Sheila.

A friend who summers here is originally from Cuba, and when she threw her annual dinner party last Sunday, I was hoping for Cuban food -- but she was in a Mexican mood!Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-40809227409643287752016-08-26T10:57:50.666-04:002016-08-26T10:57:50.666-04:00What an interesting family history.

Cooking "alien" items.<br /><br />Isn't amazing how things have changed?

I'll have to keep an eye out for these 'beauties' but doubt if I'll find them here in the frozen north (where it's hot and steamy). Hope you get to enjoy that property someday. Such an interesting history.
