It’s a favourite around here.

I love the idea of writing from the perspective of the table! What about writing from the perspective of an armchair, a car or pair of shoes?

That would be interesting.

I'm with you Tim! I'll skip the cilantro. Thanks for the recipe. I want to make when my girls come on Monday.

I hope you do make it and enjoy it!

That sounds like a lot of cumin! I remember the soup from being with you in Ecuador and I don't recall it being spicy. But am glad for the recipe as I love making soup!

Soup is so versatile. You can add as much or as little as you want! Cumin isn't really spicy - it adds warmth of a different sort.

I’ll be right over! Visit number 248 to that table!

And you would be most welcome!

That looks like a lovely soup. I wonder where I can buy achiote in Vancouver. The potato, whose origin is in South America, certainly feeds a lot of people around the world. Your table is beautiful. I am always amazed at woodworking. My grandfather made furniture and my brothers both do wood turning but none have undertaken a project of such size with minimal tools.

There are markets in Vancouver where you can buy achiote or annatto. I've had a jar for quite some time and don't remember where I bought it.

In the Andes highlands, the varieties of potatoes are extensive, many more than we can find here. Big and small, and in several colours!
