What's for dinner?



Tonight, it's one of our favorite meals with mostly all local ingredients. Papaya and passion fruit salad from the market with a squeeze of lemon juice from our garden.

For the main dish, beans and rice from the market along with a yummy addition I leaned how to make in Brazil. Manioc (a root vegetable like a yam) is dried and grated and found in the market or in the villages. Saute this with onions and bacon and it's great with beans and rice!

Have a great weekend!

    Sounds delicious, and the best thing? Even with all my food intolerances/sensitivities I could eat the ENTIRE meal :) I'll be over shortly...
    BTW, I grew up in Johannesburg, SA, about the same latitude, just different country. Love reading your "tweets", they bring back many memories of living in SA and Venezuela.
