ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Celebrate CHRISTMAS DAY • NEW YEARS EVE • NEW YEARS DAY at Joanna's Cocina EclecTica in Escazu


Seeking a more UNIQUE place•way to celebrate CHRISTMAS DAY (and New Years Eve and New Years Day!!) spend it with Joanna and friends at
COCINA ECLECTICA
in Trejos Montelegre!!

Joanna will be preparing the MOST UNIQUE (and CHEAPEST I've found) Christmas treats around (EVERYTHING I've ever had from her was AMAZING!!)!!
The theme will be
Bocas•Hors d'oeuvres•Plates from Around the World!

About the only thing "traditional" with her meal will be a turkey but even that has a unique twist - a Cashew Bread Stuffing with a Herbacious Gravy - & ALL she prepares will be done in some awesome unique way!!!!

THE CONCEPT AT COCINA ECLECTICAS:
What Joanna has created at EclecTica is a VERY UNIQUE Foodie EXPERIENCE in a REALLY special space where she invites her "friends" into her home & teaches them about marrying unique flavors together (blending various spices, herbs, doTerra therapeutic Essential oils & various types of foods•food combos you've most likely never had!!!!) - creating incredible unique tasty morsels (mainly smaller bocas•hors d'oeuvres).

Her presentation is like Dim Sum where she prepares and brings the dishes•courses out to all the guests at the same time (note that it's ok to say no to something)

During the course of the day•evening these are some dishes she MAY present while you're there:
Her Turkey has a Cashew Bread Stuffing with a Herbacious Gravy  •  Korean Jerky  •  Pickled Herring served in cucumber cups (Polish•Ukraine)  •  Smoked Ham and Sauerkraut Fondue Quesedia • Mashed Sweet Potatoes laced with Amaretto  •  Crispy firecracker rolls  •  Plantain Mash with Shrimp or Bacon or __??  •  Shrimp Ceviche with pickled Ginger & Passion Fruit  •  Shrimp Coctail with Seaweed (Japanese)  •  Fennel infused Salmon with a Beet & Carmelized Onion Relish  •  an Asian Noodle Soup or Chilled Yam Noodles & Sake Consomme . . . ???!!!!!

TIMING FOR TODAY:
Plan to be there for AT LEAST 1-1/2+ hours though if you stay longer - you'll get more food!!

NOTE:
Since there weren't many RSVP's ahead of time (yet many are coming now), she's working solo so please be more patient than normal (& feel free to help out!!)

TIME:
4pm till they run out or people finally leave
(that's when I'm going)


PRICE:
10,000-c/$20
(Food ONLY.  Drinks NOT included in this price.  Incredibly low price compared to everyone else but her food will be AMAZING and memorable!  MOST I'm seeing are asking $45-$80 per PERSON!!!)
