I met Magola through a friend here and we immediately hit it off. Magola is very high-spirited and kind. She loves music, cooking and learning new recipes. She insisted I visit her in her awesome old-school kitchen to learn to cook like "Paisas"-- people from this state. I have been over several times and on my most recent visit we baked my standard vegan chocolate chip cookies with a banana base. She likes to make me a big lunch that always leaves me stuffed. Here you can see her veggie-n-rice stuffed peppers, plantain soup, salad from goodies in her garden, home-made fruit tea (strawberry and pineapple), and an "arepa de chocolo"-- a corn-based pancake that is very common in Colombian cuisine.
What a fun way to experience the local's life. It's great to make contacts like that.
