Babalu Blog: On the boycott and Cuban bakeries

“I generally do not eat breakfast at home. Not because I can’t, though. My wonderful wife always makes a large breakfast for His Imperial Majesty (my son) that runs the gamut from cereal and fruit to scrambled eggs — always accompanied by Cuba’s contribution to breakfastdom, the cafe con leche. She asks if I want anything and I usually refuse while sipping my cafecito that she makes every work morning for us. Usually, I go to one of three Cuban bakeries in my area, all of them good. One, in particular, makes a cangrejito de chorizo (a Spanish sausage pastry) that is to die for. Today I had the hankering for one (or two) of those.

I pulled into the parking lot and noticed the lights were all out in the bakery. I wondered out loud if it was because of the boycott? I know they have a lot of “new arrivals” working there so maybe they closed in “solidarity” with the boycott. Now, I don’t know for sure if they did close in support of it or not; but if I find out they did, I will never give my business to them again.”
