She’s Baaaaaack
There are many things I miss about living in South Florida.
Aside from the endless beaches, palm trees, and *sigh* warm weather, I find myself longing for these….
Oooooooooh… the pastelitos.
*nom nom nom*
My mom is visiting this week from back home and she brought these lovelies with her.
Have you tried them? No? You’re missing out.
They are Cuban pastries with knee-dropping filling made of cream cheese and/or guava.
To.Die.For.
Anyhow, I believe these babies just may tie me over until this caffeine drought is over.
Well, maybe until tomorrow,…when they’re all gone.
Visit 5 Minutes for Mom to see Wordless Wednesday others who actually participated properly. Or visit Seven Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday if you can’t keep keep your mouth shut about your pics, like me.
oh – I totally have had those greasy delicious bites!! My ex-husband is Puerto Rican and he brought those home all the time!!

They look great, but, and my voice drops to a whisper: very fattening….
Are you really going to eat them all?
Don’t get me wrong I probably would too, but I hate the feeling you get afterwards. Don’t you?

Isn’t it nice to to have a choice Wordless or Wordful — or be like me and do neither. I really must kick myself and start participating more.
Now wouldn’t those pastries be more wonderful with a steaming hot cup of jave or and icy cold cola???? Just thought I’d be a little mean. You are doing great staying away from caffine. I’ve been caffine free (or very limited amounts of caffine) for about 3 years now.

Guava? Really?! Who would have thought to put that combo together. Ok, I can answer that.
I will never understand your strength in giving up caffeine.. I’m having to as well right now and it’s about to kill me. Or, put me to sleep. Either one!
