The total mileage of the Cuban road systems is over 18,750 miles (30,150 km) including 16,000 km of paved roads. Approximately 53% of the Cuban road networks are paved and the road density is 2.64 km of roads per 1,000 persons, or 272 km per unit area of 1,000 sq.m. (see Table 1). Nearly all Cuban cities, towns, airports, harbors, and agricultural areas are accessible by paved roads, and there are approximately 677 km of completed expressways (4 lanes or more) and 114 km of expressways in construction or near completion.

Cuisine: Mexican
Author: Mely Martinez - México in my kitchen
Ingredients
For the broth:
3 pounds of clean tripe cut into small bite size pieces
1 cow’s feet It’s usually sold already cut up in pieces
1 pound narrow bones
4 large garlic cloves
1 medium onion cut into thick slices
1 ½ teaspoon salt to taste
2 teaspoons dry oregano
For the sauce:
6 guajillo peppers cleaned seeded, open flat, and deveined
1 teaspoon of freshly ground cumin optional
3 garlic cloves
For the garnishing:
1 Tbsp. Piquin peppers crushed to add when serving if you like hot food.
Lemons cut into wedges
Dry Mexican oregano
¾ cup white onion chopped
To be eaten with warm corn tortillas.
Instructions
Simmer the cow feet and marrow bones in a large pot with 6 quarts of water, 5 garlic cloves and an onion for about 15 minutes at medium heat without covering. During this time, skim off the foam that forms. Add the tripe and oregano and cook for about 2 – 2 ½ hours approximately until tripe is tender but firm (make sure you do not overcook). You could also use a crock pot and set it in low for 6 hrs.
Remove the cow feet and marrow bones from the pot. Skim the fat that forms on top of the broth. Once the Cow foot cools a little, remove the bones and chop the meaty parts of to be returned to the pot.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the guajillo sauce. Toast the Guajillo peppers in a griddle over medium heat. Press them down with a spatula slightly toasting them without burning them.
Place the roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for about 25 minutes until soft. After that, drain the peppers and place them in your blender with the rest of the garlic, ½ cup of the broth, and cumin if using. Blend until very smooth. Strain the sauce using a sieve and pour into the pot. Simmer the broth for another 30 minutes, partially covered. Taste to season with more salt if needed.

Serve the soup in large bowls and place the garnishes in a dish in order for everyone to add to their liking. Do not forget warm corn tortillas to soak in the broth.
Recipe Notes
Some people add Hominy to the soup. If you can buy Hominy in a can, drain it and add it to the soup in the final simmering.]]> 2018-03-26 03:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245933426 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245933766 "Oh, there were a few troublemakers who claimed we were the intruders.

He owns a business and almost exclusively hires undocumented immigrants solely because they are cheaper to employ and "work harder than any white or n_____." He frequently insults their intelligence, family status, and their tendency to send their earnings back to where they came from. He calls them lazy. And yet, because he can exploit them, he "loves them."]]> 2018-03-26 03:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245936207 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245938594 2018-03-26 04:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245938594 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245939677 2018-03-26 04:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/245939677 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258922923 2018-05-08 14:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258922923 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258924190 Jane the Virgin and defying/re-asserting stereotypes]]> 2018-05-08 14:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258924190 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258931128 2018-05-08 14:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258931128 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258937880 This class has really struck home for me because in October, I will be marrying a man from Argentina and I've seen the ways family members reacted when I first told them I was marrying Luciano.

He admits that, by tackling the topic head-on, he risks writing a book that is perceived as sexist (or is sexist). But he quoted a favorite line from James Baldwin: "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." In this light, Diaz feels he has a moral obligation to reckon with male privilege. "I think the average guy thinks they're pro-woman, just because they think they're a nice guy and someone has told them that they're awesome," he said. "But the truth is far from it. Unless you are actively, consciously working against the gravitational pull of the culture, you will predictably, thematically, create these sort of fucked-up representations."]]> 2018-05-08 15:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258947600 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258949180 Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junot Diaz accused of sexual misconduct, misogynistic behavior as of May 4th, 2018]]> 2018-05-08 15:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258949180 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258952708 2018-05-08 15:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258952708 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258954118 2018-05-08 15:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258954118 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258957224 2018-05-08 15:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258957224 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258958760 2018-05-08 15:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258958760 ysabellehulet https://padlet.com/ysabellehulet/ourowjscc19d/wish/258961350
