Yesterday , I went to buy some products for fanesca at the market on the corner of my house . Some I found and some others the owner of the market did not have . Here is the dialogue between both us :
Me : Hello , Juanita how are you ? I am looking for ____________________ products I need to prepare my delicious fanesca .
Juanita : Sure , no problem . I think I have everything you need .
Me : Well , the most important at least . Do you have ____________________ peanut butter ?
J : Let me see , I have ____________________ peanuts , what you can do is : Roast the peanuts , peel them off and then put them in the blender with ____________________ water and make your own peanut butter .
M : No way ! Who has time to do that ? No , I prefer to buy the already made peanut butter . Let's see , what about ____________________ grains . I need ____________________ lima beans , fava beans and cannellini beans .
J : I have two pounds of fava beans and one pound of cannellini beans , but I don't have ____________________ lima beans .
M : Ok , give me those two please .
J : What you can do is replace the lima beans with red and with beans . I have plenty of those kinds of beans and they taste excellent . The customers that have prepared with these two varieties told me that their fanescas tasted great .
M : OK , give me two pounds of red beans , but not white beans . My husband hates the taste of white beans . I don't know why . What about lentils do you have them ?
J : I do , but lentils only come in bags , I can't sell you by pounds . Each bag weighs about 300 gr .
M : Ok give me ____________________ bag . Or no , no ! give me two bags instead . I think that for the quantity I am preparing I need at least two bags . And I also need ____________________ mote and split beans too , do you have ____________________ ?
J : Sure , I can sell you ____________________ split beans by pounds , but mote you can buy it in the central market on the next street . I don't sell ____________________ mote here because it is cooked and when the fanesca season passes , nobody wants to buy anymore .
M : Ok , give me two pounds of split beans please .
J : I also have lupini beans ( chochos ) if you need ____________________ .
M : Yes give me a pound and do you have ____________________ mellocos ?
J : Of course , I do have them . ____________________ fanesca without mellocos is not ____________________ fanesca , don't you think ?
M : I totally agree with you , but tell that to my oldest child , he hates them . I have to take them away once I prepare the fanesca for everybody else .
J : I can't believe you . They taste fantastic . There are also people that put ____________________ rice to their fanescas you know .
M : No . I have never heard that .
J : Yes , if you want to thicken your fanesca stew , you can cook ____________________ rice , smash it and add it up to the whole combination . I have heard it is a good idea , but I don't know , it is up to you . I don't want to hear after , that thanks to my good advice , you spoiled your fanesca .
M : Don't worry , I can always decide what and what not to put in my dishes . By the way , do you have ____________________ cod ( bacalao ) ?
J : Not , right now . The cod will arrive tomorrow in the morning . You can pay today and pick it up very early in the morning . My husband is coming tomorrow morning with ____________________ fresh cod from the coast .
M : No , Juanita , I need it for today . Uhhhh ! You should have the bacalao here , that's one of the most important ingredients for fanesca .
J : Yes , I know , the thing is that we had ____________________ until Wednesday night , but we are sold out so my husband went to the coast to get ____________________ more . And do your children like bacalao ?
M : Yes , all of them . I have no problem with it like in other families that they don't like cod . The secret is only to serve the chunks of cod on the top of the fanesca . There are ____________________ people that cook the cod in milk and then ; that taste bitters the whole dish . It is better just to add it up on the fanesca as ____________________ top , so if you have ____________________ guests who don't like it , I just don't put ____________________ cod in their plates .
J : That's is right and talking about milk , another secret is never putting water in the fanesca , only put milk , peanut butter and cream . How many bags of milk do you need ?
M : I need two bags and one of cream .
J : I don't have ____________________ bag of cream at the moment . The bags of milk , yes .
M : Uhhh Juanita ! You should have all at once . And do you ____________________ flour to make the empanadas ?
J : Of course , how many bags do you need ?
M : One , of course , I only need one bag . What about eggs ? Do you have ____________________ ?
J : Yes , the dozen of eggs is cheaper here than in the supermarket because they come from Riobamba . My mother - in - law sends me those eggs every week .
M : Ok , give me ____________________ dozen , no no better give me two dozens for the breakfast of my children ; they love them .
J : And corn ? Do you need ____________________ corn ? I have ____________________ tender corn , excellent for fanesca and very cheap .
M : No thank you , I did not ask for ____________________ corn because my sister recently sent me some corn from her farm .
J : From Riobamba ?
M : No , she and her husband have ____________________ farm in Chaltura . The corn from Chaltura is great .
J : Certainly it is . And cabbage caserita ? Do you need ____________________ ?
M : Yes , give me ____________________ piece of that cabbage please .
J : I sell two pieces minimum , but just because it is you , I can sell you only one . What else do you need ?
M : Do you sell ____________________ butter ?
J : Not by bars , only by pounds . I have ____________________ excellent butter from Riobamba too . I can put you in ____________________ bag two pounds if you want .
M : No thank you . In my family they are picky and they prefer the pasteurized butter that comes in bars .
J : Green peas ? Achiote ? Onions ?
M : A bottle of achiote , yes . How much is the pound of green peas ?
J : One dollar only .
M : Ok , give me that . The achiote too . The onions , no . I still have ____________________ in the fridge .
J : ____________________ garlic cloves ?
M : No , I still have ____________________ at home .
J : Oregan , cumin . Ajino moto ?
M : No thanks , I have those at home too .
J : Cheese , parsley ( cilantro ) ?
M : Ok give ____________________ cheese . And let me guess , the cheese is from Riobamba too ?
J : No this cheese comes from Cayambe .
M : Ok give the bill please , I need to hurry up if I want to get this done by today !
