Delicious Cuban Ceviche Recipe!

DearWorldTraveler,

While in Havana, I took a cooking class at Espacios and learned to make a dish called ceviche.  It’s raw fish served on pesto and fried plantains.  I was a little cautious about eating raw fish but the chef let me know that the lime juice/salt “cooked” the fish.  I gave it a try and absolutely loved it!  It was delicious and didn’t take long to make.  It’s a great appetizer for a small gathering or the perfect snack in between meals.

Bangkok (and a crazy tuk tuk driver)

DearWorldTraveler,

“I take you anywhere you want to go for 1 baht!!  Where you go?”

As we were walking to a metro in Bangkok, Thailand a tuk tuk driver sped up to the side walk barely stopping before he jumped out and chased us down saying he could take us anywhere we wanted to go for 1 baht.  That converts to about 3 cents in USD…unheard of!  We kindly told him no mostly because he seemed crazy and because it sounded way too good to be true.  After several unsuccessful attempts to dodge him we figured we’d give it a try. As expected, there was more up his sleeve.   Continue reading “Bangkok (and a crazy tuk tuk driver)” →
