So in these crazy days, it’s not possible to sail to the Caribbean; But you can definitely bring the Caribbean to your kitchen 🙂
The favorite cocktail is converted to a shortcake: shredded coconut, coconut milk, pure pineapple juice, pineapple slices, Rum – and you instantly find yourself on the deck of a yacht with a tropical beach in the background!
Speaking of cruises – maybe it’s time to stop and think about what’s behind the scenes of this glittering experience? Or what is the actual cost of “pleasure cruises”?
Just as we refrain from eating animal products – partly because of the monstrous industry behind them; Humans also belong to the animal kingdom – so why enjoy at the expense of someone else’s suffering?
It is possible to have pleasure without causing suffering to people. Real joy is often derived by bringing happiness to others! (For example, I would enjoy if I knew you liked this recipe 😉
Some food for thought ☺️
