Hi, P.J.!
Well, we've made it to VT from FL. Right now we're in Ira (outside of Rutland) visiting our oldest daughter, son-in-law, and two of our six grandkids! This daughter is a professional baker with a BIG kitchen, so she whipped up a batch of Cuban bread; however, no one had fresh lard, so we had to make do with the stuff in the box......but it DID taste just like the bread we can get in FL. Will be making another batch to take to our youngest daughter's house where we "pig out" on the full-blown Cuban meal! Just the finishing touch we've been missing!!
Will be making our annual pilgrimage to King Arthur one day during the first two weeks of August, accompanied by our second daughter and son-in-law who have never had the pleasure of visiting the "shrine of baking"!
Thanks again for the Pan Cubano!!
Neat - glad you tried the lard version and it was what you'd hoped for. Enjoy those sandwiches! As we "speak," our store is undergoing a major renovation - new flooring, new layout, etc. We'll be closed tomorrow, then will be a week or so getting up to speed, but by the time you arrive, the "new shrine" should be awesome! Enjoy - PJH
