 "Flavors Around the Globe: A Ceviche Affair"

Hey Foodie Friends,

As we embark on another culinary journey this Foodie Friday, let's dive into the vibrant world of ceviche – a dish that holds a special place in my heart, tickling my taste buds with memories spanning two decades.

Introduction: Ceviche, the delightful symphony of fresh seafood, zesty citrus, and a medley of flavors, has been a constant love affair for me since the moment it danced on my palate in Jamaica some 20 years ago. Each bite was a revelation, a perfect balance of tanginess and the ocean's embrace. It left an imprint so profound that, to this day, ceviche is not just a dish; it's a journey back to the beginnings of my gastronomic adventures.

Jamaican Infatuation: Picture this – the sun-kissed shores of Jamaica, where the air is filled with the rhythm of reggae and the scent of the sea. It was here that I first encountered the magic of ceviche. The combination of freshly caught seafood, citrusy bursts, and the Jamaican flair for spice created a culinary masterpiece that set the bar impossibly high for any future ceviche encounters.

Cruise Excursion in Cozumel: Fast forward to my recent cruise trip excursion to Cozumel, where the allure of ceviche beckoned once again. The vibrant streets and bustling markets teased my senses, but it was the seaside restaurant's promise of authentic ceviche that truly captivated me. The first spoonful transported me back to those Jamaican shores, rekindling the love affair that had begun years ago.

Ceviche Magic: What makes ceviche so enchanting? Perhaps it's the freshness of the ingredients, the artistry in the preparation, or the harmonious marriage of textures and tastes. Whatever the secret, it's a symphony that never fails to serenade my taste buds. From the tang of lime to the crunch of fresh veggies, every element plays a crucial role in creating a culinary masterpiece that transcends borders.

Conclusion: As I savor the last traces of my Cozumel ceviche, I'm reminded that food is not just sustenance; it's a tapestry woven with memories, flavors, and the shared joy of discovery. So here's to ceviche – a dish that has been a loyal companion throughout my culinary adventures. Join me in celebrating the magic of flavors around the globe, one ceviche at a time.

Here's a recipe for you Ceviche Recipe

Happy munching!

Here goes: Easter season (Lent), 1972= I was 9 months old and contracted spinal meningitis. My fever spiked at 107 degrees after being driven by the doctor himself from his office to the hospital in BR, submerged in an alcohol bath, and quarantined. The doctor told my parents IF I survived I would be deaf, dumb, blind, all three or any combination of. It's a miracle I am alive, Easter season 1988=At age 15, I was admitted into drug rehab and after the 30 days my parents were told by doctors and counselors I had a "life long disease with no cure, addiction. 30 days is not long enough she needs more." I was sent to a halfway an hour away in Opelousas, I stayed there almost a year.  It was the first time I ever in my life missed a holiday with my family because I was too new for a pass.  Also to add, this is when my dad went to work on my behalf in other ways too after hearing the dr. and counselors diagnosis.   Easter season 1989=Having recently returned home from the halfw
