Naked Soul Kitchen

Christmas Eve in the Bahamas. That's a first! Well, my parents and I are in fact here, enjoying the warmth and the sunshine on a very family oriented tradition of the celebration of Christmas Eve or Kūčios in lithuanian. Traditionally you are supposed to have twelve types of food on the table because of the twelve apostles. We were lucky enough to have more than enough selection on this evening because the resort put together an absotely lovely ensemble of all kinds seafood, meats, deserts and everything in between. They really went above and beyond to make everyone feel like we were at home. Except for all the palm trees swaying in the wind and the warm weather, which will always be exotic to me.

“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed” -Charlotte Bronté from Jane Eyre Today I received a letter in the mail which confirmed a plan, which has been brewing in my mind for quite some time now.

Another far away land. Exotic, hot, colorful, enchanting and full of promise. A month from now I will be in a new country, a place I've never been to before, however, a place which has enchanted me through stories, movies, and of course, with its delightful cuisine. It is rich in history, diversity and from what I've heard, it leaves an imprint on your soul which never fades away. Of course, I am talking India! Am I excited yet? Of course!! I have already started ...
