Well, I have to apologize for being MIA, but I have a good excuse - I was in Panama! Sister and I went on a whirlwind adventure which included (in no particular order): exploring Panama City, snorkeling in a thunderstorm, eating coconuts on the beach, 2 earthquakes, sunbathing, and lots of good old sisterly bonding time.
I must say I wasn't impressed by the culinary offerings in Panama, especially for non meat-eaters like me and Sister. I will say that we enjoyed some fabulous fresh fruit (mangoes, pineapple, coconut), awesome habanero hot sauces, and best of all we were introduced to the amazing raspado.
Raspados (shaved ice) sellers abound throughout Panama City, especially in Casco Viejo, the old city. Ice is hand-shaved and topped with fruit syrup and either malted milk powder or sweetened condensed milk. The passion fruit version Sister and I enjoyed on a hot sticky day was heavenly (as evidenced by the photo below).
