100% German here. First generation born in America in my family

[greatdarkwing]

Both of my parents are Cuban, and I was the first one born in Pittsburgh, then moved to Miami and have been here ever since!

I used to LOVE Spanish rice w/ corn and sausage, but now I dont each much rice anymore. A sin for a Cuban, LOL.

I love it too, but I just cant endulge in it anymore. Its involves alot of rice and greasy meats. I've lost 90 pounds since last Thanksgiving, and part of the reason why is b/c I have given up Cuban food. Now dont get me wrong, I do eat a bit every now and then, just not in the bucket-fulls I'd enjoy before...

[SuzeQuze]

Irish
French Canadian
Swedish
Russian or Polish
German
Scottish

The first four I am sure of the others I have been told but I don't know. My family wasn't so good at communicating the lineage. I believe that I am 25% Irish and 25% French Canadian and the rest are 12.5% or less.

I hear ya. All those sinful mouth-watering meats and sauces. I crave it just thinking and typing about it. I've had some amazing Cuban food in Chicago...my best friend was born in Havana...so of course had amazing homemade and restaurant experiences. There are some pretty good cuban restaurants here in L.A. too, much to my surprise.

As you said, light and trim it's not. Certainly great for "treat" times.

I never knew that you were born in Pittsburgh. I always thought that you were born in Florida. Learn something new everyday.

Explains the constant sense of guilt and pessimism, as well as my sometimes volatile temper!

I hate you! (just kidding)

Even though I'm half Italian, I definitely take after the Irish side. I'm pasty white and burn (then peel) very easily. I have to wear, like, SPF 1000! I never get much of a tan at all.
