We got back last night from our seminar and this morning took our first trip to the Feria in Grecia, held every Friday and Saturday.  I’ve never been to such a huge farmers’ market!  We were astounded at the selection of fruits, veggies, poultry, fish, baked goods, even clothes!  We didn’t find any staples there, like coffee, rice and beans, so had to go to the supermarket for those things.  It’s a lively and noisy place, and if we move down here, likely would be a regular stop for us on Saturday mornings.  We stocked up on plantains, yuca, chicken, fish, salad fixin’s and eggplant.  When we went to the supermarket to pick up some coffee, our host Dave suggested to us that we pick up a bottle of Lizano Salsa.  He described it as the equivalent of our A-1 sauce but different flavor. When we got back to the house, I had planned to make arroz con pollo since I spotted a good sized crock pot.  When I got everything out and ready to prepare however, I found that the crock pot was missing the insert  So, with some of the spices we had on hand, I roasted two chicken breasts and made some rice and salad.  The chicken breasts were enormous, so much so that Steve and I split one!  He grabbed the Lizano and decided to try it on his rice.  He told me I needed to taste it immediately, that it was so different. So I gingerly put a few drops on my rice and when that mouthful hit my tongue, I was in heaven!  The flavor is not hot, but such a wonderful combination of spices and vegetables.  I poured it on my rice and over my chicken.  This is definitely something we’ll be stocking up on to take home with us.   We can get it in Austin, but I’m guessing the price will be significantly higher than what it costs down here.  Lizano Salsa will be a staple in our home from now on! Pura Vida!
