Masitas de Puerco Fritas are fried pork chunks. They are slow cooked until very tender, then lightly fried in their own oil.

These are great with a little mojo sauce and sliced onions.

You might also see these as "carnitas" in some Latin markets, especially Mexican ones.

A Miami family has created "El Guajiro Domino Tables" – a company that specializes in handcrafted wooden domino tables with Cuban themes.

“Our domino tables are good for both playing dominos and display purposes,” says Carlos ‘El Guajiro' Arocha. “They are easy to set up for a game of dominos and when not in use, set them against the wall or hang them up for a great Cuban decoration.”

The game of dominoes is the national game of Cuba. For many, the game is a daily social event that combines competition with camaraderie.

"You frequently see people playing games in parks and other public areas," says Raúl Musibay.

In the United States this tradition is kept alive at Maximo Gomez Domino Park on Calle Ocho in Miami.

Playing the game at home is more enjoyable if you have a table that is specially made for dominos.

All eyes are on this beautiful table, handmade from wood with a laquer finish.

"El Guajiro makes a great table, and let me tell you it is beautiful," Musibay adds. "It's easy to set up and the trays that hold the fichas are solidly built."

Each El Guajiro table has metal folding legs that allow ample leg room for the players. The legs are easily folded up for storage or display.
