What a such nice experience having the fall season in this part of the country. Each year there is a spectacular colorful scenario with the leaves (red, terra, orange, intense green), you would be here to know what I am talking about.

My garden is still surprising me! I never imagined to harvest potatoes as I did some days ago! Looking at them as hidden treasures underground, it is quite nice experience.
That reminds me Perú, by being the protagonist since 8 thousand years when its ancestors had done researchments on a place called Maras in Cusco to control or discover the differentes climates over platforms (andenes) planting potato seeds or coca. They had discovered for over three thousands varieties of these ancient tubers. 
The United Nations - UN has declared 2008 as "Year of the Potato". Thus, on May 31, 2008, Peru has celebrated the "National Day of the Potato" with its motto 'Treasure from Peru, Food for the World, en many Peruvian places there were fairs where Andean peasants and neighborhood from the urban places displayed several posibilities to cook this popular tuber.
Now at home, we will have this sensation to eat potatoes "de la chacra a la olla" (popular expression that means "from the garden to the pot". Mmmmm.... Baked potatoes with cheese, milk, some butter... I wanna try it! Let me know if you need the recipe :)
