This should probably be called a salsa. But then most people conjure up a flavor profile of tomatoes, onions, peppers, with maybe a bit of fruit tossed in. That’s not this…at all.

Once you’ve eaten freezer jam, you’ll never go back. The color is spectacularly red and sparkling, but the flavor is unbelievable.

We had a lovely meal at the Peruvian restaurant, Para Dos, in Coral Gables. It was delicious, but the highlight was the Papas a la Huancaína. When I tell you this sauce is to die for, I’m not kidding. You’ll want to eat this by the bowlful, keeping it all for yourself.

The Goddess adores pickled things and this is a favorite. These are fast, easy and delicious. It’s is one of “those” condiments. You want to have a jar of these beauties in the fridge at all times. There are so, so, so many ways to use Pickled Red Onions.

I enjoyed this lovely soup at the Worcester Museum of Art, in Massachusetts. Their café is a lovely place for lunch and their signature Pear and Wild Mushroom Soup is a must try it. It just stood out, so how could I not try it? Oh, I’m so happy I did, because it’s absolutely delicious. And is the inspiration for this lovely elixir.
