This should have been the sunday thread but I was out and having fun at the river in somewhere near janico called paimito (spelling???). This place was an interesting location as there weren't too many people there. The road leading to the river from sabana iglesia is horrible so we had to go there in 3 suvs. the idea was to cook chicken and moro (rice with veggies and beans) in nature with wood fire. Our cook was a lady from the campo who came like 3 hours late. When she did come, she brought her tigre husband, kids and even grand kid. So we had to feed a whole family as well. No problem as you folks will soon find out the rules of cooking by the river. You have to feed everyone and I mean everyone who is at the river. hahahaha.
So as we were sitting there waiting for our cooks to show up, we were well fed by the people who were already cooking there on a huge grill, some tasty meat. We swam in the river and drank / ate while waiting for our cook to show up. after 3 hours the cook shows up and her reason for being late was that she was cooking up the beans at home because it takes hours to make them soft.
never mind, we had satisfied our hunger with food supplied by other folks around us. When we finally cooked up the food, which was helped by everyone, including India canela (our friend- didn't know she was so famous all over DR). she helped cook and the rest of us just did what we do best, BS.
The food was prepared and was consumed as its always consumed. People from all around us, even as far as people on the other side. Came without even invitation and picked up plates and helped us finish it all, even the con con part of the rice. hahahahaha, it was funny to see how people just invite themselves, i was wondering how would some of the tourists react if they saw this happening to them in a river picnic. the fact is, this is how generally people share everything when they are in a picnic. I actually like this part because I am the same way when it comes to inviting people to my house and feeding them. I will even feed your friends and anyone you bring in.
. if you guys are interested, I will post pictures of the river and the water damn (taveras).
