The Magic of Spices

Hello,
I want to keep the theme of the magic of food. It doesn't matter what culture you belong to but food is universal. As human we need it for nourishment but sometimes we exceed the limit while others suffer because of lack of food. The movie I picked it's American and honestly it's not the best but it does fit into theme. It's called the Mistress of Spices. It has to do with a woman who parents died when she was a child. She learned to mince, cut and pick spices. But knowing how to work with the spices also have some baggages. Here is the trailer to be a tease.  

Comida de Amor

Have you ever wonder if food had some type of magical power. A power that can cause humans act a certain way. Like Water for Chocolate is a wonderful movie that mixes a love story with traditional food and creates a journey to find love. Alfonso Arau directed the film that was based on his wife novel (the same title of the film). He is also a popular actor in Mexico and a known director throughout the world because of this film. This is a romance story but the plot is very interesting and the desire for love just craws into your mind.

There are some foods that have some arousing power. I would love to share the whole list with you but it's too long for here. But please check out some love food.

Little paradise, little disaster

Ey vos,

You are known for your beautiful surf beaches and your endless green forest. Yet you have a sad story to tell, from your history to the present time. Your story inspires me to continue my path for a better life. I am writing about my birth place, El Salvador. I won't talk much about my past but I will speak out for her. My families have always seen El Salvador of a beautiful country lost in corruption. My mother, my father and my aunts and uncles went through some hard times of corruption. They were students at the time and it wasn't safe to trust the government. I am blessed to have such a rich history and hope to stay strong in my journey like my family.
