I love to travel through food. Even though it 20 degrees and there is a foot of snow outside, I can imagine I'm on a warm sunny beach. The sound of crystal blue waves crashing into the golden sandy shore is in the distance, and I'm enjoying my bowl of Jerk Shrimp with Rice and Beans (or rice and peas as the locals call it).
