This is Gabriela's mom. She was super fun and sweet. I enjoyed being in their home.
This past weekend I went to one of my student's house b/c she wanted to make me my favorite Peruvian dish (lamo saltado) and some ceviche. It was a lot of fun and not I can come back to the States and make it for my family and friends. Check out that sweeeeettt apron!
This is a picture of the ceviche. Ceviche is made using lots of different types of seafood--octupus, shrimp, fish, and some other things I had never seen before. Instead of cooking the seafood, you leave it in about 2 cups of lime juice for about 2 hours and the acid in the lime juice cooks the seafood for you. Ceviche is served with canche (corn) and sweet potatoes. There are onions and pimiento in the ceviche to give it some extra flavor. Ceviche isn't my favorite but it was fun to make and taste. Ceviche is one of the most famous dishes in Trujillo. Anyone who comes to here has to try it.
