In case any of you are wondering whether I ever take a night off and dine out (or a week off and go away on vacation) I’m writing to tell  you that I’m heading to Key West for a much-needed 10-day vacation. 

My mother lives in Key West, so I’m fortunate enough to have an excuse to have to go there as often as possible. 

Key West is known for good yellowtail, grouper and shrimp, as well as great mangoes and Cuban coffee–but for me–Key West means enjoying mom’s cooking. 

It’s going to be a week of fun in the sun for me, but in case there’s a meal that my mom makes or that we make together that inspires me, I’ll write about it.  So. tune in over the next week from time-to-time!
