Ignite Your Passion with a Little Salsa!
Quick: see if you know your hot stuff. Which of these images represents authentic salsa?
-
- salsa to please your palate
-
- salsa dancing
-
- salsa music
The answer, of course, is that all 3 pictures represent salsa. Salsa is a spicy mix of tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers from Mexcio that makes a delicious addtion to the table. But it’s also an informal dance style with its roots in the Caribbean. And it even descirbes a kind of Latin music that incorporates jazz, Cuban big band sounds, and Afro-Carribean rhythms.
At the flower show, salsa means all these things and more. It means a great line-up of entertainment, foods, and floral displays that we’ll have for you on Sat., Jan. 31.
Be sure to catch Chef Alex Palacios, owner of Salsa Havana, when he takes the Home Depot stage that afternoon at 5 P.M. to talk about cooking salsa-style. At 4:15 P.M., try your fancy footwork to the Latin/jazz melodies of Cliff and Sei deMarks.
Don’t worry if the weather is cold on Saturday. We’ll be nice and warm in the flower show as we ignite our gardening passions with a little salsa on the side!
cheers,
Lynn

Yes, I agree. Salsa is many things–food, music, dance– and all of them are delightful.

My thought’s are that the chef was ill-prepared for such a event of such importance. I am scared to think what his restaurant might be like! I want to visit just to see how he might operate his business.
The chef’s i’ve seen have been pompous and just plain mean as hell, Alex seems scared and unsure.
