Are you asking whether the blogger has been identified?  If so, I'm not answering that question...


Yeah but... I added the *********** to the quote... because that's not what's in the original.

And I just changed my post - the one you 'quoted', Tri2Cook. Seems some of us may have jumped the gun - it was not my intention to do that.

 

Tere - I am sure we would all love to hear about your travels, especially the food related parts, either on a 'a la minute' basis or after the fact upon your return. You can, I think, just start a new thread to chronicle all that, but, if you want to consult someone, maybe you could send Smithy or Chris a PM.

The game is to figure out who it is, it was figured out. Fair game. No gun jumping occurred.

Can't remove this ^^^ weird formatting from my reply. I just wanted to say that I don't care who is blogging or where, if it involves salted fish and lychees, I'm excited.

And didn't one of our bakers recently post a photo of a minions-themed cake?

Just to be clear - yes, the game is to guess who it is.  I confess, I'd hoped that it wouldn't happen so many days before the blog opens...but kudos to our guessers!

So I guess it IS Panaderia after all? I got confused when I saw Smithy's comments about how she was not going to say yet and then posted the extra pictures - and Tri2Cook then quoted me but ******'d out the name. My apologies. Again though, if it is our Canadian expat friend ... I am so excited to 'taste' the South American fare that I hope we will be treated to soon.

@kbjesqI think those are rambutans, not lychee...  regardless, I'm looking forward also!

 

@TereI'll second Deryn's comment that we would love to hear about your travels, and see photos!  You don't necessarily need to ask a host to do one - although I'm sure they appreciate it and have good ideas on how to keep people interested.... but I've done a few in the past (Saigon and Singapore over the last year...) just after I got home from my trips while everything was fresh in my mind, and I really enjoyed doing them.  Not only is it fun to share the info with people who are genuinely interested, but it also helps to relive some of the great moments.. plus, I now have a record of my travels that I can re-read when planning stuff in the future!

Yes, it's me!  But I am yet to have baked a Minion cake, dear friends….  That's my Ovaltine jar in that photo, along with my hot chocolate and coffee jars.

 

I'd like to apologize over the salt fish photo - I didn't realize I'd posted that one here before, and it almost gave the game away before it started!  As some enterprising guessers pointed out, it's not "true" bacalao (although I will be showing you the real thing, as well as Mero - there's a huge festival of bacalao sales on the starting Sunday).  Pictured in the teaser, for the largest part, is salted black rock sole.

 

And finally, kbjesq, those hairy red horrors are Rambutan, not Lychee.  It's currently Rambutan season, and people are selling them out of wheelbarrows at 35-40 fruits for $1.  When we hit the peak of the season that can go up to 60/$1.

Looking forward to following your blog. And also wondering what people do with so many Rambutan!

Eat them until we burst and are so sick of Rambutan that we never want to see another one (until maybe next season)?  They're delicious.

Hi there, PanaCan.  Loved your last blog with you and your family eating from food trucks.  Oh my, would I love to do that.  East Central Ontario has only chip trucks.  Not too exciting.

So we wait for the next blog.  Hooray!  :x:x

I'm not sure I've recovered from the notion of people eating guinea pigs, or whatever pet-like creature it was! But I am most looking forward to your blog, and will be anxious to learn about rambutan and salted fish!

If it makes you feel better, I won't be eating cuy (guinea-pig) this time around.  Easter is a massive food festival here that features more on the pig, soup, and salt-fish end of the spectrum.

I will most definitely continue to eat from the food carts (I have actually never seen a food truck in the country!)  Street food is part of what makes eating here such a vibrant experience!

Yay!  I'm glad my sleuthing took me to the right place!  I'm very much looking forward to spending some time in your area, virtually that is!

When I did that image search, I was really trying to identify the type of fish and thought I might find something similar to help me track them down.  I thought I remembered that previously posted eG images weren't used in the teasers so I was surprised when my search sent me right back here to your thread!  

 

Then of course, I distractedly posted while cooking a frittata and revealed your name immediately after @Smithy asked for time to post more photos.  For that, I sincerely apologize.  But I am most delighted that I was right!

I loved your past two food blogs and can't wait for the next one.  Every time I read about the best places in the world to retire, there is Equador at or near the top of the list.  I'm ready for  a trip if only in your shoes.

Here are the last two photos.  I'll let @Panaderia Canadiense decide how much to say about them, now or later.  I too am looking forward to this blog!

Kitchen Aid mixer + fluffy white-clouded mountains ... added to the fact that Panaderia bakes - she is going to make meringues?

 

Not unless somebody pays me a very significant sum of money.  They're right at the bottom of the list of my least favourite baked goods.  I do, however, make large volumes of Italian Meringue Buttercream….

This will be fun!  Thanks for taking it on.

 

Since you teased us with a photo of salted fish, maybe I can make a request?  Over in the salt cod topic, you mentioned an Easter soup/stew called fanesca. It sounded complicated and intriguing. Any chance we'll see some fanesca in this blog?  (fingers crossed)

Fanesca is the reason I requested this specific time-slot for the blog, Linda!  It's the seasonal celebratory dish.  I'll be talking about the ingredients, the rationale, how it's made (although since every single one of my recipes for it produce enough to feed a small army, I'll be letting others do the cooking), and I'll be eating it in its various forms, with and without the bacalao fritters, throughout the week.
