Last week in our neck of the woods, we beat cold temperatures of the North Pole. This week, the blizzard of the century promises 2 ft (more than half a meter) of snow and 50 mph (about 80 kmh) winds. New York mayor issued a travel ban on city streets tonight into tomorrow — no cars, no trucks, no e-bikes.

Meanwhile, warm and sunny Panama is on our table.

The Center of the Americas, the Crossroads of the World, Panama appropriately soaked up and adapted culinary influences of all the peoples surrounding it.

Choosing between hearty soups and stews, fried and roasted meats, rice and beans, we zeroed on fish ceviche. In Panamanian version, along with lime, fish was flavored with grapefruit and habanero. This added some softening sweetness to the dish without making it sharp.

Paired with green plantain patacones it made a nice light dinner.
