This Cuban mojito is very similar to the drinks I enjoyed in Varadero, Cuba. The muddling and the order of the ingredients helps ensure that all the flavors are well blended. Serve with a straw and a decorative stir stick to keep the different flavors well mixed together.

- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 lime , cut into 4 wedges
- 4 sprigs fresh mint

Fill each glass about half full with crushed ice. Pour 1/4 cup rum into each glass. Fill the glasses with club soda, stir, and garnish with remaining lime wedges.

Chicken Curry and Potatoes
This is the best chicken and potato curry you will ever have. It is also very good with a side of basmati rice. This recipe comes from my Assyrian grandma. I hope you enjoy it.
Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Velvety mashed potatoes made with sour cream and chives! Scallions also work well if you do not have chives on hand.
Eggplant-Ziti Parmesan
I come from a big Italian family, my mom made this all the time. Very delicious and very hardy. A great anytime meal. The secret to good eggplant is to peel and drain it, so it's not soggy. Serve with crusty italian bread, and a tossed salad, and you have a hearty meal. It seems like a lot of work but it's not. I hope you enjoy your meal.
