One of my goals for our time in Ecuador is to learn to cook some Ecuadorian specialties. I now have a teacher and while we haven´t started yet, I should soon know how to make shrimp cebiche like a pro. What I didn´t expect was to also have the opportunity to learn some Korean specialties. But my friend, Isu, has offered to teach me how to make kimchi from scratch. Yum!
On a completely different note, I really like all the mirrored and metal furniture featured in the design magazines and websites lately. For example, I love this metal dresser from Graham & Green (found via Oh Joy!) and mirrored side table from Anthropologie:
And this tea cup planter (from Small Pond also via Oh Joy!) would be perfect in my Alice in Wonderland inspired dream house:
Ecuadorian food is *delish*. I lived in a student cooperative house, and we had a lovely lady from Ecuador who would cook the most **amazing** food. She'd go to some local markets to buy the ingredients. Learning to cook Ecuadorian is well worth it. If that's the only thing you learned to do your whole life, I think it'd be time on this planet *well* spent. Yum. (Sorry but I really love that food! haha)

I am so glad you will be learning how to make some ecuadorian specialties. I HOPE YOU WILL TEACH THEM TO ME!!! I think the food was better in Ecuador than in Peru
