It would be a shame to not take advantage of the bounty of seafood available to us on this trip. Day two will be the “Japanese Effect “ This term conjures up words like Miso, Yakitori, Sashimi, Nigori, Tempura and of course Ramen. Michael of course will take this train to other stops and will likely mention terms like Sake, Whisky, Japanese Beer & even wines like Gruner Viltner that pair well.

Given Curacao proximity to South America, Day three will devote a the the rich Latin American food culture. Maybe you have heard of terms like Asado, Ceviche, Arepas, Empanadas & Chorizo. Or what about wines like Malbec, Carminere & Rioja? If you’re not familiar with the terms above, no worries you’re going to love what you learn & eat/drink. If you do know these terms even better you’ll be a pro when the day is over.

If anyone knows anything about us you’d know this day was eventually coming. Those who don’t, just read our last name & that should be enough. Day 3 is EVERYTHING ITALIA day. A day in which you will hear words like Antipasti, Contorni, Handmade Pasta , Verdura as well as Aperitivo , Vino & Negroni. Today we will live like an Italian in the midst of the tropics.

It would only seem fitting at some point given these tropical surroundings that we designate a all things BBQ night. This is the perfect opportunity to explore marinades, rubs, , finished sauces & of course salsas. From whatever proteins we can get our hands on, to vegetables in season. We will Q up the evening with an array of wines from Sangiovese to Syrah and Cava to Prosecco. Either way, there will be something for everyone to explore & enjoy.

On this day I really couldn’t care less if it is Tuesday. After all, when you're on holiday do you even pay attention to what day of the week it is?? Either way I propose today's day to be Taco Tuesday! However, this fiesta will be very different from any other Taco Tuesday. A long long table will be filled with just about every protein & vegetable available to us as well as salsas & sauces. Oh and did I mention we will make our own tortillas as canvas to showcase our creations. From Margaritas to Paloma cocktails to Zinfandel & Pinot Noir we will find our happy place in no time at all.

Our last day will be a fiesta with a full Cuban Band at the villa & it doesn’t get any better than homemade pizza with contorni & antipasti. Primi should be one last taste of the ocean, maybe a chilled seafood salad with salsa verde?? Followed by the luscious Napoletana Pizza surrounded by contorni such as sauteed local greens known as Verdura. As well as local vegetable Giardiniera. Mimosa is usually on the brain for these nights followed by some enchanting Chanti or Lambrusco. And don’t worry we won’t be throwing the pizza dough in the air when we are making it.

Relax by the pool for morning cocktails served with the sting of the Caribbean before heading to the airport in the afternoon.
