What is the green sauce next to the sandwich? And don’t just say, “green sauce” 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 That's green mayo, Michael. I don't know why it's green. Below is their meat version, called a Cuban mixto. It has various types of pork. Sadly, I've never been to Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t been to Cuba either....closest I got is Little Havana in Miami. Actually the closest I got was Key West, Florida....just 90 miles away.

Ed Rooney Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks for the mayo report, folks. I've been to Key West too, Michael. When I was in Montreal waiting for my Irish passport renewal, I almost went down to Cuba to wait. Alas, it was hurricane season and I didn't want anymore complications. I've had a drink in all the other Hemingway places. https://edostrange.blogspot.com/2020/05/at-harrys-bar.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Did you make it out to Bimini, Bahamas? I was fortunate to get a magazine shoot there once. He lived there as well. The great sport fishing drew him out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Ah yes, Bimini. I've done shoots on a few islands in the stream, but I've never been to Bimini. Hemingway spent a lot of time on Bimini between 1935 and 1937, but he never really lived (settled) there. He was living with his family in Key West. If he was by himself on Bimini, he usually stayed at the Compleat Angler Hotel. When he had his wife and boys with him he rented or stayed with friends like Michael Lerner. It was a very important, pivotal place to him and I will have to add it to the spots I did not have a proper Papa beverage. This Hemingway story recently published in The New Yorker seems to be set in Bimini: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/06/08/pursuit-as-happiness Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very lucky here, very little infection...the big problem now is almost zero tourism. The islands need tourists to keep people in jobs, but also need to take great care not to import covid...

Michael Ventura Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Edo, did you remember the congressman from Queens, NY, Ben Rosenthal? He was probably in office during the time your father was. Anyway, his son and I were good friends in high school and still close friends today. He raised his family in suburban DC while in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I know the name, but he was long after my time. I was living in Rome for most of the '60s. I lived in North West DC in my teens, down the street from the Washington Cathedral. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geogphotos Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 My aunt had two old fat dogs that needed to be lifted out of the car to do their business in the grass. One was called Jet and the other Flash. Their glory days were long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
