I bring you the La Coja China

The class: International Cuisine. The country/region: The Carribean. Just a little heads up--anyone who is a vegetarian for reasons of compassion should probably not look.

Mmmm, spice pork!

I make hibiscus tea often, usually not straight but I put some into various loose tea mixes I make. Always a nice bright color and gives a tangy kick to it.

ZOMG lechon!

I grew up in Miami. Upon moving to Boston, I described Christmas down south to some kosher foodie friends: "you could not go outside, as the air is THICK with the smells of roasting pigs."

Cubans in particular are known for digging pits in their yards for a Crima lechon.

nom nom nom

I don't know if we're going to study Cuba or not...it would be fun to roast a pig in a hole in the yard, but something tells me the school would not be pleased about that...or the people who do out landscaping. :P

lechon > nice grass

Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea has a hibiscus base. Great inexpensive place to start.

Red Zinger tea is quite delicious...I'll second this recommendation.
