Important Note from Dr. Rima:
Affirmative Assertion for Food and Vaccine Choices!
When you read my response to sacred food below, you will recognize that I am talking about the choices we make every day about what goes into our bodies – our choices. And you will immediately recognize that whether to vaccinate is every bit as intimate and significant a choice as what to eat. I cannot urge you strongly enough to make sure that you have protected your legal rights by affirmative assertion through the Advance Vaccine Directive here:

Remember, your whole family needs protection.
Sacred Food to Heal the Soul
Today was a rough day: a friend and supporter turned on us without, as far as we could tell, any logical reason to do so. Devastating. Enraging. Shocking. Not unfamiliar. But so disappointing that, ultimately, I could not sit at my computer and continue working without a break and a breather.
.
Since it was dinner time we had the choice: cook or go out. I was in no mood to cook. I wanted a diversion and I wanted it to taste really, really good.
.
I looked online and found Boragó in Vitacura Country, Santiago. #58 of 3,570 Places to Eat in Santiago according to TripAdvisor.
.
Ok, good enough and pretty close by.
.
Boragó refreshed my soul, but not because it is a stunning restaurant, or because it is elegant and stylish, immaculate and creative in its decor, not because its bilingual staff uniformly provided a level of courtesy and attention almost otherwise non existant.
.
No, Boragó refreshed my soul because it is abundantly clear that Owner-Chef Rodolfo Guzman has a mission. Everything we ate was from one part of this country, Chile, or another. Everything was hand gathered from the sea, the forest or the desert. This food was organic, wild crafted and meticulous. Everything was presented with attention to its relationship to the environment and the diner’s relationship to the food that ties him/her to the earth, setting fantasy and pleasure centers free to soar while the planet is gently reaped for its sustainability and our sustenance.
.
In short, the 10 course tasting menu, which was served with a perfectly prepared sip of one astonishing fresh juice or another (we do not drink alcoholic beverages, so that was more than perfect for us) melded and surprised our palates as the tiny portions of the philosophical and culinary fest rolled on.
.
Rodolfo left this evening before we arrived, but his deep philosophy and presence lingered in the inspired statement of commitment to the sacred triad of the food, our home and those fed.
.
There was harmonious music in that food, I promise you. There was philosophy and art and science and, most of all, joy. Zinging, swinging, brash and tender joy, pure and simple.
.
No, I do not want to eat such perfection at such leisure and cost every day. It would waste precious resources and dull my keen appreciation for the marvel of this kind of extraordinary dining.
.
Do I strive to capture the wonder, awe and the appreciation for the bounty and beauty of our food, when it is clean, unadulterated, un-tampered-with in every bite of every bit of food I take in? Yes, most certainly; and with appreciation.
.
I commend to you a sense of the sacred in your intake every day, for a bit of rapture in your meal time spice kit.
.
And I commend Boragó, a restaurant with an inspired, and inspiring soul when you are in Santiago.
.
Real food is sacred soul food. And real food heals more than just the soul.
.
Yours in health and freedom,
.
Dr. Rima
