When it's cold outside, I like to find retreat in my kitchen. The
warmth of the oven, from spices and from just simply moving in the
cuisine-creating space can really feel like a loving hug when I need
one. Just this past November, I went on a yoga workshop week in Belize,
it was fantastic (shocker I'm sure). Finding myself in mid-month January
in Minnesota, although we have had a mild winter thus far, I think to
myself that perhaps I jumped the gun on my tropical getaway. As I
reminisce of the fresh catch-of-the-day crisp and warm off the grill and
the warm sun on my skin as I lay in a hammock on the beach, I realize
that a tropical fix may not be as far away as it may seem.
