Funny, when I am home I don’t eat out a lot but when I got to Ecuador, that’s all I wanted to do.

I was in my room when Ana’s niece told me she was going out to get pizza! I jumped up and stopped what I was doing. I got ready and raced down stairs…just to find out what she was really saying was: I am MAKING pizza.

Y’all make pizza too?! I wanted to yell. Isn’t it one thing we can go out and buy?!

Nope, save your money and make it all yourself.

3 cups of flour

3 tea spoons of salk

3 table spoons of sugar

Then, mix

3 table spoons of oil

add hot water slowly to make a dough

keen the dough for 10 minutes

add baking soda

And then I got mixed up with the children in the house and missed the rest of the recipe, nonetheless, I believe we add cheese and tomato sauce some where here….

Bake!

I enjoyed visiting Maggie. She was a little bit more laid back. However, every house I went to stressed the importance of chinaware. I did a whole lot of washing dishes…and breaking too…(shhhh!).

The second time I visited Juan and Maggie, we ate, ham, rice and potato salad. Ecuador has over 500 types of potatoes which is probably why her salad is yellow…one of the 500 must be yellow.

It was mmmm delicious…however, by the third day I started to wonder, where is the green salad?!
