Photographs from Death and Harry Houdini Cast Questions and Answers on 4/29/12

Death and Harry Houdini Cast Questions and Answers at Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, April 29, 2012. This play is performed by the Theatre Of Chicago, and wow what an awesome show. Death and Harry Houdini has all of the components to a great time like comedy, singing, dancing and some amazing magic. It is performed in the Carnival Studio Theater where you are so close to the action you almost feel as you are a part of the play itself. I was fortunate to sit on the front row and I still can’t figure out how the magic is done. No, they would not let us take any photos during the play, you just have to go see for yourself. This is a play you should not miss, it really is so much fun!!!

Annette Recommends Odysseo by Cavalia under the White Big Top at Bicentennial Park

Posted on March 1, 2012 by flavorofmiami | 3 Comments

We went to opening night of Odysseo presented by Cavalia and The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts under the White Big Top at Bicentennial Park in downtown on Wednesday, February 29, 2012. All I have to say is the show is truly amazing, between the astounding horsemanship and acrobatics combined with the awesome scenery and visual effects, this show will leave you wanting to see more. This is one show you will not want to miss.

The show is very serene and breathtaking, from the beautiful horses to the spectacular acrobats. The staging area is so big, at some points they have over 30 horses and 40 performers on stage and still room for more. They have a carousel they lower and the performance on it will blow your mind…I think they use magic :-). The ending routine will REALLY surprise you. I have never seen anything like that.

Words cannot really describe how amazing this whole show was, you just need to go see it for yourself.

(Unfortunately, we did not get any photos of our own, but below are some stock photos that Cavalia supplied. We purposely omitted photos from the end to keep the surprise.)

Annette Recommends Allegro Original Marinade

Posted on November 26, 2011 by flavorofmiami | Leave a comment

Allegro Original Marinade is a great marinade for any meat, I have used it with chicken, pork, steak (all cuts) and it is so yummy. It adds such a great flavor with out overpowering the meat. I so recommend this on everything. Check out their website for recipes and the history of Allegro. You can purchase it at Publix or any supermarket, I have found it with the other marinades and sometimes by the meat section. They make several different flavored marinades and bar-b-que-sauce. Enjoy!!!!!!

Annette Recommends Capital Grille

Posted on November 26, 2011 by flavorofmiami | Leave a comment

We went to Capital Grille on Brickell for dinner, which was my first time at a Capital Grille. The food was amazing, we started off with the Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella with vine ripe tomato with a balsamic glaze. For the main course I got the lamb Chops and they were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. James ordered the Porcini rubbed with 12 year aged balsamic which I have to say was one of the best steaks I have ever had. To go with the main course we ordered the creamed corn and with smoked bacon and the fresh mozzarella , tomato & basil salad with 12 year aged balsamic. For dessert we had the cheesecake with fresh seasoned berries and the key lime pie both were so good. The whole meal was amazing, everything was cooked perfectly, displayed beautifully and served from an awesome staff.

Some of their signature items are Pan Fried Calamari with Hot Cherry Peppers, Bone-In Kona Crested Sirloin with Caramelized Shallot Butter and Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake.

Annette Recommends Exquisito Restaurant in Little Havana

Posted on July 23, 2011 by flavorofmiami | 2 Comments

We have heard so many great things about Exquisito Restaurant in Little Havana so we finally decided to go. Wow, we should have go sooner! The place is small but the food is awesome. I got the Ham Shank with boiled yuca and the best soup I have had in a long time. The ham just fell off the bone and the flavor was so good, with just a hint of smoke (Yummy). James got the Fried King Fish and French Fries, the fish was really good and cooked just right. Their prices are so inexpensive and their specials are even a better deal. So if you have not tried Exquisito, don’t wait as long as we did :-).

Annette Recommends La Ventana Colombian Restaurant

Posted on January 23, 2011 by flavorofmiami | 1 Comment

We went to La Ventana Colombian Restaurant on Washington Street, such a cute little place. I had the Colombian hot dog and it was so yummy, it had bacon, pineapple sauce, cheese, pink sauce and potato strings, it had a little bit to it and was awesome. I also order a side of yuca fritas and chicharron and both were really good. James order the fish soup, more like fish stew, it had large chucks of fish, yuca, corn and plantains, it was awesome. Mark order then Carne en Salsa Criolla, steak in creole sauce with rice, salad and yuca fritas. The creole sauce was so amazing. They serve a couple of different sauces you can put on your food, the spicy one was my favorite. Everything on their menu sounds so good, can’t wait to go back and try something different.

Robert is Here

I just love going to visit Robert is Here. Robert is always there and willing to answer any questions you may have or help you pick out what you are looking for. Every time I go, I ask Robert to pick out a mango that will be ready to eat either that day or the next, and he has picked the perfect one every time.

One of the best thing there is the Good and Evil Pickles which is pickles, jalapenos and garlic cloves, and oh my gosh these are the best things ever. I can eat half a jar in one sitting, they are that good and a little spicy.

I have tried so many things and have pretty much love it all. They have great jams, jellies, honey, chutney, hot sauces and bar-b-que sauces. They have such a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and every time I go I have to buy a fruit I have never tried or even heard of. I could go on and on, but if you have not visited Robert is Here you really need to go, you are missing one of Miami’s greatest treasures.

Annette Recommends Alma Mexicana on Miami Beach

Posted on December 9, 2010 by flavorofmiami | Leave a comment

We went to Alma Mexicana on Washington last night for a late dinner. I ordered the pastor (pork) sandwich, it was on flat bread, and it was the most delicious sandwich ever. We also order the smothered green chili burrito with rice and beans, I was so amazing this is a must order. The last thing we order was a pastor burrito and it was really good, not quite as good as the smothered burrito but really, really good. They have a salsa bar and I tried all of them and they were all awesome.

Alma Mexicana is a wonderful affordable, delicious, authentic Mexican restaurant. It is on Washington between 13th and 14th right next door to Juice and Java. The staff is so friendly and the service was fast.
