I’ve been MIA in my FIM (Foodie in Miami), but it has been an interesting month and a half. First, I was busy planning Emma and Guillermo’s wedding, then flying to Costa Rica, then disaster struck. My husband Zeke broke his ankle the day before the wedding on a Monkey

Even though I didn’t host Thanksgiving this year, I did get the gift of a turkey carcass from my Mom, with which to make Turkey Soup. While the recipe I use, from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, is very simple, making Turkey Soup is a process. But it’s worth it. First
