Yanno, holly is the only cook I know who uses "100 bottles of beer on the wall" as a cooking timer...

By the time she gets to zero bottles of beer, the food is either ready or she doesn't care if it's not

When the people bake in Cusco Peru, they make their food, and take it to the "bakeria" for lack of a better word.  It's a place that specializes in baking food.  So you bring your cold dish to them, tell them what you want it to look like when it's done (if it's not obvious - I mean cake looks like cake).  You give the folks 50 cents and they cook it for you.

You may wonder what makes this special.  I'll tell you.  They check the temperature by how long you can keep your arm in the oven without it hurting.  And the oven is really big, kept going all day, and so there are numerous dishes being cooked together.  When I say "dishes" what I really mean is... Well I was there one time to pick up some bread, and watched as they pulled 3 complete hogs out of the oven ... and then some chickens, rolls, and ohhh what's that?  A cake. 

It's a whole different world.

sunny, that has to be so cool to see upclose like that. are people in Peru able to bake in their homes, or does all their baking have to be done at a bakeria?

No Holly.  The Thanksgiving decorations are up.  Of course I did not do the cooking two weeks ago, because it needs to be as fresh as possible.  I do have to go to the dairy today so that I can get cream for making whipped cream for the pumpkin pie. 

And yes, the gifts I have so far ARE wrapped.  And the recipts are in indivudual envelopes with names.
