As Winter Ends..
Sassy Spicy Succulent Snacks
Succulent (adjective) - full of juice.. moist and tasty.. having fleshy tissues that conserve moisture. Succulent (noun) - rich
in interest. On the beaches of Puerta Vallarta... my most favorite food experience was the beach vendor that passed our
way several times a day.. with beautiful carved succulent fruits and vegetables, fresh and inviting. What I didn't expect was the
greatest suprise.. and that was the method of serving these casually beachside completed the total
experience. See a few ideas below.. and create your own... talk about healthy "sensual" foods...
