"It's a good thing."
/My friend and faithful blog-reader, Mica (whom I had the pleasure to meet at Cuba Nostalgia last year), shared a sweet moment she had at the 2009 Food and Wine Festival in Miami a few weeks ago.
She got to meet Martha.
Yes, THAT Martha. I swear. I want to be her sometimes. (Martha, not Mica.)
Martha. She who represents everything I could ever hope to be (except for that whole pesky insider-trading-and-having-to-go-to-jail thing, but that's not important right now).
I know. Shut up. How cool is she?
Mica meets Martha and encourages her to get in touch with her inner Cubana.
She (Mica, not Martha) reports that they had the following exchange:
Mica (the very bold Cuban woman): "Martha, you MUST do a whole show on Cuban food & culture."
Martha: "Oh I have done some things. Why? Are you Cuban?"
Mica: "Yes, very!!"
So, Mica, my friend, kudos to you for your witty 60 second book-signing repartee with Martha.
If it had been me, I know I would have been tongue-tied and probably said something like:
"Martha! I want to be the Cuban YOU!"
That didn't come out right, did it? Heavy sigh. =(
So you see.....It's a very good thing it was you, Mica, and not me. =D
(Thanks for sharing, my friend!)
