First time I was served octopus ceviche was during octopus season in a small village in Campeche, Mexico. I was living there, collecting research on the artisan Panama hat weavers, and the dear friend that made this for me didn’t even have permanent walls on her shack of a home. The ceviche was wonderful. The “pulpo” was soft, and sweet, nothing rubbery about it at all. But what really threw me for a loop was the fact that it was served with soda crackers! Yes- they really do serve their ceviches with soda crackers. At least in Eastern Mexico, Mayan villages, they do.

Yes! This! This! We need to think about hosting (and showing up) like going to the gym. Might take some effort, but we will ALWAYS be so glad we did it. And we need to build the habit.

Yes! Such a good way to put it. Seems onerous until you see the benefits :)

What a fantastic plan. I am inspired to do the same. We all need to have more social gatherings--more often!

Georgia, the goal of having people over this summer on a regular basis is such a good one and I think I will attempt this, too. I’m tired of waiting for big, special occasion events to get together with people I enjoy. And I love everything about this ceviche, right down to serving it with saltines! This is a must-make for me. And! omg pie day sounds like a dream!
