Tonight was our first “Storied Table” and we traveled to Cuba. Our guest chefs were our very own staff F***y, Mirtha, and Rosa who made all of the favorites.. homemade empanadas, fried plantains, ropa vieja, and rice and beans…. And homemade flan for dessert. We celebrated our very own resident Balbina..
Balbina is 101 and was born in Cuba and left the country with her family when she was 31 years old. She was a licensed pharmacist in Cuba and had to pass the boards in the states in English when she moved to Miami and became a US citizen..and she did! She has some incredible other stories of triumph and is An amazing lady living with us at Nested Story. We love her so much and enjoyed celebrating her and her culture and getting to share it with all of our other residents.
Join us next month as we travel to Italy and celebrate another story.
