I may have been born in Los Angeles but my home was Cuban. Every night we had white rice with some form of meat. Bananas either came in green, dark brown or yellow where 2 of them were fried up for a savory or sweet side dish. Treats in our family were usually flans or a shake made with tropical fruits that my classmates had never heard of. Sundays always meant that my Dad would break out the blender and make shakes. Our favorites were usually mamey or trigo. These wonderful memories with my family were also what set us apart from everyone. So, when McDonald’s comes out with a Dulce de Leche Milk Shake, I had to make sure that they got it right.
