Steven Spielberg took on the classic (mid-century \u2013 ahem) 1961 film and twisted it just enough to make it fresh and exciting to watch. There was something about the way it was shot\u2026 it felt of the time when the original was made, but the light and space afforded it made it feel fresh and new. Choreography- stellar! Flawless! Wonderful. And let\u2019s hear it for Rita Moreno! The original film\u2019s Maria comes back to play a new part and make a delightful impact on the story. Rita is a story all on her own. It was insane that she was back and doing such a great job. She\u2019s just excellent. Case closed!<\/p>\n<p>So now is time for true confessions. Yes, this was a fabulous success. But\u2026 I am not and never have been over the moon for West Side Story in any form. It\u2019s terribly depressing. And you know how it\u2019s going down upon the first glimpse of the first scene! Lordie! I also don\u2019t buy in to a deep die-for love in 24 hours. Do I sound cynical? Well I guess I am. I like a love story that shows the love grow. And that is why this dish has more passion than the movie! It\u2019s a true love story where simple ingredients and one unexpected fruit pur\u00e9e create a flavor that is so astounding, you will fall more deeply in love with each bite.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-8261 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354-300x291.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354-1024x992.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354-768x744.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354-1536x1488.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kitchannette.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/breasts4-scaled-e1676943764354.jpg 1644w\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"345\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I knew what I wanted to make. My first thought was West Slide Story and I was going to do a pulled pork slider (yum) but that didn\u2019t relate back nor did it fit in with the other dishes. As I decided on chicken, I still wasn\u2019t quite sure how to bring it back to the actual movie when a Verizon repairman named Jose Soto came in to my office, having completed his work. I mentioned my dilemma and he gave it a moment and suggested PASSION fruit! Wooo hoooooo! I just love when things work out like that.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was on to research what might complement the flavor yet give it zing.\u00a0And HONEY, I found the ingredient that gave it the perfect balance. Upon the first flavor note hitting your tongue, it takes a moment to figure out where it wants to land. And then you \u201cneed\u201d another bite and then another\u2026 it\u2019s named Passion Fruit for a reason! Truly! Ever since I created this dish, I always have passion fruit pur\u00e9e in my freezer. I like to be ready in a flash to make this again and again.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t recommend this dish enough. It\u2019s really so unexpected and delightful. Let\u2019s leave off with a little riff on Tonight: One bite, one bite\u2026 won\u2019t be like any bite\u2026 this bite will be one filled with the sun\u2026.
