I eat a plant-based diet so it was nice to be able to splurge on going out to eat and have a few options to enjoy. The Blue Zones are absolutely fascinating to study. I love learning about the Okinawan's. They have one of the highest populations of people living to over 100 years of age with vitality. 65% of the traditional diet was sweet potatoes! Lots of sea vegetables, tofu and very little meat. No wonder they were so healthy!VegeCooking Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12544272388628254027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775325498971947221.post-14822523716643868922019-01-17T05:17:25.610-05:002019-01-17T05:17:25.610-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Emma Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169976400981554714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775325498971947221.post-4007303633281922212017-08-25T09:09:03.590-04:002017-08-25T09:09:03.590-04:00Well since you're married to my favorite Puert...Well since you're married to my favorite Puerto Rican you're going to have to take me out there to eat because it looks fabulous.

I was lucky to have my husband there to translate but I would have loved to speak with the people in Spanish as well. They are so lovely and kind. I hope the rules get relaxed again so I can go back. I left my heart there.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715173966851705737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775325498971947221.post-18089736996343029252017-08-07T14:58:03.651-04:002017-08-07T14:58:03.651-04:00Very well thought out advice and I concur on the s...Very well thought out advice and I concur on the safety conclusion. I was there last October with some celebrity types and we roamed the streets at all hours day and night and not once felt unsafe. The food however wasn't a big hit with me but others didn't share my experience. I do have a very sensitive stomach so I didn't indulge much and drank bottled water from the hotel every single day/night. We were staying in the upper end hotels which would not have been my choice I think I would MUCH have preferred to stay with a family like you did but when you're towing around Dave Mathews and Smokey Robinson and Usher, the decision makers felt they needed to be where we stayed. I know for a fact Dave would have preferred where you stayed. He's such a down to earth regular guy for being worth several hundred million! The people of Cuba even though I didn't speak hardly a word of Spanish which I am embarrassed about, were so friendly and easy to smile and seemed happy and content. I loved them. Only had one small issue with a guy who was clearly drunk and or a bit off in the head but it didn't go far. Even the police posed for my cameras. I plan to go back BUT, I want to honor those people by speaking some of their language so I have a lot of work to do first. I would add a photo here but I'm not sure how. Thank you for taking to the time to advise people who have never been. It's a great place to visit and learn.

My fiancé and I have two small children so we are constantly searching for new restaurants to check out for date nights.<br /><br />I came across reviews that you have on Urbanspoon and it led me to your blog. <br /><br />I have got to say…I had never heard or seen “Poutine” before and it looks amazing! My fiancé would LOVE to try it, plus we love a good burger place. <br /><br />I checked out your “Wall of Fame” posts to see what you think are the best restaurants in Jacksonville and the lunch special from Mr. Taco looked pretty healthy, and Gourmet Aviator seemed like a good lunch place to check out. Although, I was surprised that The Melting Pot was on the list because it is a chain that most people have probably heard of and my fiancé and I tend to like the hole-in-the-wall secret treasures. Also, for the amount of money I would rather my food come already cooked <br /><br />Great blog! I can’t wait to check out some of these restaurants when we move up there.<br />Anna<br />Anna Webbhttp://www.allmysons.com/jacksonville/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775325498971947221.post-54103409261400269462014-10-28T06:47:27.984-04:002014-10-28T06:47:27.984-04:00Awesome!

We also shared a sweet biscuit - cinnamon and pecans with a light, sweet icing. Delicious! I suppose I should mention I had the sausage and egg biscuit and it was very good. Will definitely go back!
