Your Afternoon Required Reading
There's a great article in today's Sun-Sentinel about different Caribbean holiday specialties in South Florida. Think Venezuelan hallacas, Haitian gateau renverse (pineapple upside down cake), Trini black cake and the Cuban caja china. So if you're looking for any one of those items, particularly in Broward County, check out the story.
Also of interest: an interview with Gail Shepherd, the food critic at the Broward-Palm Beach New Times. It's pretty great; apparently she knew very little about food when she got the job, and she had to learn a lot along the way.
