Another run to the Mercado. In the yellow bag are sections of Yucca root. The avocados were perfect, and where what I had for dinner. I am really going crazy for the local strawberries. That bag cost only $1.00

The next day, I spent quite some time cleaning dirt off the roots. I logged into YouTube to find out how to cook yucca. It warned you that the roots would be waxed for transport. I think these were still in the ground the day before I bought them.

The peels are not eatable.

I boiled the roots for 25 minutes. I could have let them go a little longer.

There is an in-eatable stem running through the center. I removed the stems and cubed the yucca, before returning them to the pot with sautéed onions and spices.

The finished roots are very much like potatoes. I had them with eggs for breakfast in the morning. For dinner the next day, I had them with steak.

With my cooking done, I headed to the Mercado 9 de Octubre, where I found this band performing in the nearby plaza.

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
