Congreso Cubano:Mole Con Chocolate
Here at Congreso Cubano, we like to explore all sorts of Latin cuisines, not just Cuban. Recently, we decided to have some fun with some of our favorite Mexican flavors and, after a lot of tests and tweaks we ended up with this delicious dish. This dish consists of two basic parts: the mole and the cookie. Top it off with your garnishes for a beautiful piece.
THE Magic City'sVanishing Venues Act
Miami became the “Magic City” in the early 1900’s due to its rapid development, apparently rising out of the sea as a full blown city seemingly overnight. But now, that same rapidity is perverting the soul of the city and performing a vanishing act with our most vibrant and historical entertainment venues.
DISCLAIMER: I am just another local artist but unlike transplanted locals, I was born and raised in Miami. I have experienced these things first hand and can see how they’re affecting our tight-knit community. Please allow me to elaborate on my slack-jawed, “Wow!” Well, it must have taken one helluva powerful magic potion with a vast variety of spices to concoct something that would slowly fool this city. Here’s the recipe.

SkeptiCULT:The Anti-Vaccination Problem
Miami residents know the countless threats to our city’s existence. A hurricane could come and rip the the place apart, man-made climate change could drown us in a generation or less, and our city is no stranger to criminal violence. Someone even ate a dude’s face once on the MacArthur Causeway, which could also mean we have a zombie problem.

Cul✝ Trends:Pancakes & Booze
Last Friday, I went to Pancakes and Booze at LMNT to scope out the scene and grab me a few pancakes after work. Naturally, as a broke college student, when an event invite involves the phrase “ALL YOU CAN EAT PANCAKES” there is a 90% chance I’ll show up. Plus, three of my fave DJ friends Nigby, Enzymatique, and Atman, were providing the tunes for the night and being the audiophile (and pancake aficionado) that I am, there was no way I was missing this event. I dragged my tired behind across the causeway after work, grabbed my plate of pancakes and walked the room searching for fresh faces and fresh fits. I was not disappointed.
Behind the Lens:North Carolina
Between the Rodeo, the flowers, the Cherokee people, and the other sights, North Carolina is definitely a visually intriguing place.
Lennonvs. McCartney
The title of this post is “Lennon vs. McCartney”, which completely goes against my usual way of thinking. I’ve always thought that comparing artists and musicians is absurd and a huge waste of time. Nevertheless, rather than a competitive comparison, in this case, I would like to do a reflexive contrast.
