Last night's dinner was good. I found some sort of ocean fish at the mercado. You'd appreciate the second story of the mercado. I was afraid to go up there the first week I was here. The stairs are crowded with vendors and it looks quite dodgy. Once up there, you can barely walk as there are dozens of women sitting on the floor with baskets of fish and crabs. Nist if the fish are mojarra, but occasionally you see something else. My vendor told me I was buying lovio (low VEE oh). At least that's what I think she said. No one's ever heard of it.
For the first time ever here, I found green bananas. I couldn't believe my luck.
Take 2 very green bananas, half a cup of milk and an egg and blenderize. Add a cup of flour and a bit of baking powder and salt. Fry in shallow oil in an oval shape about 4 inches long. Broil the fish after coating it in a bit of macadamia oil, salt and pepper. These two things go perfectly together.
With this I made a coconut brown rice. Cook half a pound of brown rice. In a frying pan, saute finely chopped onion, garlic, fresh coconut, macadamia and carrot. Add the rice and half a cup of coconut water. Cover and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Save enough coconut water to have a shot of coco loco (rum in coconut water).
