Not as visually appealing as the Peruvian food 😂
But we made the food for #FoodAndLit #Greenland (which should have been last month, but I was too hot to make it haha).
So here we have a fish casserole (substituting cod for halibut. Couldn‘t find it anywhere) with a hot potato salad. It was different. I kind of liked it? But probably wouldn‘t make it again 🤣
pickA great collection of Latin American short stories. Very good ones among them, and little magical realism ?
Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Luis Loayza, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Rodolfo Hinostroza, and Fernando Ampuero are Peruvian writers so I count them for

pickZelu is a disabled author whose book, Rusted Robots, becomes a worldwide sensation. This book follows Zelu prior to and after her fame. Not quite a sci-fi book (there is some space travel & high tech gear in the main book), her Robots book definitely is—a dystopia set in Africa where robots and AI (bodiless bots) are at war. So we also follow the travails of Robots‘ main character Ankara in this book within a book. Both stories are interesting ⬇️
I visited my parents this weekend and Dad shared some flower seeds with me. They just happened to be the Marvel of #Peru Four O Clocks! How cool is that? #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
pickSoldiers kill Nina‘s father in cold blood, and as a result her brother Miguel joins up with the re-emerging Shining Path and their pastor is thrown in jail for trying to hold the soldiers accountable. Years later, the pastor—out of jail—comes to see Nina, informing her he‘s learned that Miguel is still alive. When the pastor shortly goes missing, she drops everything to find him and Miguel in the deep wilds of Peru. Action-packed, well-written, ⬇️
#FoodAndLit #Peru
I couldn‘t not read Paddington, the most famous bear from Peru, this month. I followed that up with the chapter in the tagged book about the bears in Peru. (A re-read from #Naturalitsy) And for lunch today we went to a Peruvian place near our hiking trail that we‘ve been meaning to try.
I still haven‘t made my Greenland food (planning to this coming week) but we have made food from #Peru for #FoodAndLit tonight!
Shrimp Anticuchos with Chimichurri and Escabeche de Pollo (Peruvian pickled chicken) with sweet potato rounds
#WeeklyForecast 31/25
I am reading both Deep Cuts and Small Pleasures and both are very entertaining. The tagged book I want to read for #FoodAndLit #Peru so I should read fast! We‘ll see, this will be another busy week working.
