If I said I was from Cuenca, Ecuador, where the darkness takes over and few lights shine the streets, from going down the hill to joining the loud block parties. To waking up to the sound of the rooster and the strong sunlight hitting your face, would you know where I’m from?
Where am from we eat Bolon Verde in the mornings, where I walk outside to the kitchen to be serve a warm Bolon Verde with a cup of warm cocoa prepared from the best cook I’ll ever know my mom. Where she cooks the green plantains, then stuffs it with cheese or Chicharron (pork), or for a more amazing taste both ingredients mixed together. A simple dish that just contains four ingredients plantain, mozzarella cheese, chicharron, and butter. The salty taste of the plantain, and the crispy pork put together just takes me to a whole new world an wonderful and delicious morning experience.
Where after an amazing breakfast we walk around the yard and through the fruit garden to a sweet taste of fresh fruit grown and picked with our own hands.
