So…I'm not sure if anybody else does this but I am kind of a nerd for seasonal produce.
I think it may be a little bit of a product of all the cooking shows I like to watch but I also feel like it's a product of my observance and practice of voodoo.
It always cracks me up when I'm doing a grocery order online and and I'm subconsciously evaluating which produce can be used to serve which lwa.
I see hot peppers for the Baron and Maman and mangos for Ogoun. I see honeydew melon for La Siren, and strawberries for Erzulie Freda.
Anything super tropical like coconuts and pineapples of course always remind me of our beloved Papa Legba.
But the truth is I really wouldn't change any of this…to me it's just another assurance it's that the wonderful lwa are always with me in my life-I never shop without 'em! 😉
