We were back home for Thanksgiving this year and we were treated to an amazing feast with our extended family. The big star of the event was a 20lb turbaconducken.

We LOVE Donde Alcides!
A lazy Sunday afternoon, a lovely drive up to the mountains, and a visit to a meat house our friend Alex has been raving about ever since we arrived in Costa Rica.
I was sensing the perfect set up for a great story, except I was too busy eating my face off to really take notes for it

Very homemade, very rustic and very comforting. An amazing soup that somehow always tastes like a Mom’s traditional recipe no matter what restaurant we get it from. This particular order was from a family restaurant near the Volcan Irazu.
This is usually it’s own dish, unless you get a boca (appetizer) size. Served with a side of rice, the soup bowl is deep and massive as it’s packed full of beef broth, big chunks of meat on the bone, yucca, potato, corn and other local vegetables.
Whether you’re just really hungry, in need of comfort, sick, or hungover – get it while it’s HOT!

Seafood and Souvenirs
This is from one of our weekend day trips with our friend Alex, where we stopped for a very delicious and very large serving of Arroz con Mariscos (seafood and rice) in Sarchi, Costa Rica.

A Typically Delicious Costa Rican Meal
The Costa Rican Casado is a delicious all-in-one plate of common basics such as rice, beans, salad, fried plantains and beef, chicken, pork or fish.
As you can imagine everything can be varied from separating the rice and beans to mixing them together for the beloved Costa Rican Gallo Pinto, to different types of salad and side servings. And of course there are your choices of meats.
So even if you have a Casado everyday, you can still get some sense of variety and change. They have become one of our favorite meal choices here in Costa Rica.

The Reuben at Jerry’s is Yummy!
While we are enjoying all the delicious eats in Costa Rica, it was a nice treat to devour a good ole’ fashioned Reuben from Jerry’s Famous Deli on our trip to Miami! And yes, it tasted as good as it looks
