yuca-n get it if you really want...

I know now why I have never seen a lot of yuca options on the menu. In light of the Yuca disaster yesterday, I need to practice with that- because it is so plentiful here! I have only seen the firm yuca, not the soft.

I had a delicious fried yuca with garlic and lime at a fancy restaurant here. They even sell it at Price Smart (like Costco- there's one in the country, it's about 1 hr. away)

Otherwise known as Cassava, it's great in dessert, fried, tapioca... I tried treating it like a potato, and my garlic yuca mash would be great for sealing leaks or damaged walls.
