A Foodie Day

We missed having a waffle on Sunday due to the crowds, so on the next day Waffles de Belgica is open, we must make the trek back.  It's once again a beautiful day, but a little too warm for William in the sun.

We sit down at the small Waffles de Belgica stand and there are only two other customers (for the moment).  The owner Jan waits on us and comments that we have been there before.  Yes, but it has been almost two years!  And then again, William is kind of a memorable guy.  Not too many people are walking around Cuenca in a beach-appropriate shirt wearing an Australian-style hat.

Jan's waffles are as delicious as we remember them.  Light and fluffy with our choice of fruit, ice cream and sauce (dulce de leche for me and mora for William).

We chat with Jan for a while in-between his waiting on other customers, then take a stroll along the Rio Tomebamba.  On our way back to the apartment we stop at a riverside restaurant for a cold beer and crisp white wine.

For dinner I decide to try the Seco de Pollo recipe we learned from Chef Patricio.  We bought fresh tomatoes at the Mercado yesterday (un dollar) and chicken leg quarters from the Supermaxi.  I skin the tomatoes then throw them into the blender (making the tomatoes riñón rojo). The chicken is first "browned" in achiote.  I add some garlic then the tomatoes riñón rojo and a dehydrated spice mixture I bought at LaYunta. Covering the pan with aluminum foil (we do not have a covers for the frying pans), I turn the chicken periodically and in 50 minutes we're ready to eat.  I prepare plain quinoa so we can use the tomato sauce from the chicken and broccoli as sides.  For dessert I fry up sweet plantain chips.  William says the meal is very good, and I agree.
​

We walked ~ four miles today.  Somehow I don't think the exercise offset the calories, but we had a lot of fun!
