2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 40,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 15 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Welcome to Carmen's Cafe!

Annual Christmas Eve Potluck

Yes, Carmen will host her annual Dec. 24 potluck from 5-10 on Christmas Eve

We put out rice & beans, picadillo, plantains, salad, flan and goodness knows what else, topped with sangria and iced tea. You bring a dish to share and all the friends you can find.

We all go home with a lot more friends than we had before.

Best of Both Worlds

Eggs–pancakes, eggs–pancakes, can’t decide? How about Hole-In-One Pancakes? With a side of bacon, thanks!

From Carmen’s Café, bringing you great breakfasts all day since 2004

Friday is Tapas and Mundo Nuevo!

Friday December 19th at Carmen’s: Shows @ 6 & 8, $5 cover each

Mundo Nuevo at the Guilderland Public Library: Mundo Nuevo is a musical quartet that is dedicated to preserving the classic repertoire of the Spanish speaking Caribbean, Mexico and South America. Lush vocal harmonies, acoustic guitars, bongo and flute deliver the music of Rafael Hernandez, Miguel Matamoros, Armando Manzanero, Antonio Carlos Jobim and many more of the composers that make up the Latin American Songbook.

Steak and Eggs

OK, Steak & Egg, be a noodge. I asked Carmen to make me a mini.

Perennial Carmen’s favorite returns! Hurry up, they are going fast.

Huevos Benedictus

What better breakfast is there, and it’s great any time of the day!

Huevos Benedictus normally comes two to the plate, with home fries. Carmen thought we could get by with just one (diets, you know). Ha! We just put in the order for another pair.

They are so good, we should order another pair APIECE.

Bouillaibasse

Rich, full bodied flavor in a traditional seafood stew.

Clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp & whitefish in an herbed broth over saffron rice.

The most amazing apple pancakes in the world

Seriously, you have to taste these to believe them. They are s-o-o-o-o far over the top it’s incredible!

Is that the Energizer Bunny or a Cortado?

Both, actually.

Strong and bitter and sweet, just the way you like it.
