scg, another gorgeous creation.

Garbanzos, are chick peas. Gandules are pigeon peas. A section of Tampa is called Ybor City. Years ago, it was a very nice sector where mostly Cubans lived. The architecture of almost all the buildings is Spanish-Cuban. They had the cigar factories there, and you could get hand rolled Cuban cigars there. You can still get hand rolled cigars there, but not many places that do it anymore, and most of the cigar factories have closed down. They still have a couple very big, fancy restaurants with Spanish-Cuban cuisine. The dish I made is actually called Garbanzo bean soup, not chick pea soup. Along with other seasonings, it has saffron, which turns the potatoes and broth yellow. Saffron is also used in Paella, or yellow rice too. Arroz con gandules is pigeon peas, and rice, and is a Puerto Rican dish. Of course it has pork, and seasonings too.

Thanks for the cultural information about Tampa!

Not doing much today keeping my right foot propped up. My foot and ankle is full of fluid. I took a lasix this morning
It should be gone by morning.

Oh my! The lasix works for you. Good! That's what they gave me in the ER room, through my IV, said it would make me per a lot. Only went twice. Dr. Couldn't understand. Hey, that foot has been bad for a while now, right? You need to take it easy all right. Hard to do, I know. Try keeping it up more often than not the next...few days. This is Dr. Cynthia speaking.
