As I was the 13th child of 14 children born to Victor and Rosa Aguirre. My parents were from Ecuador. My mother was a stay at home mother and there was always some wonderful aroma coming from our kitchen in Buffalo N.Y.

There was the delicious potato soup (Locro de papa) with day old bread from the Italian bakery down the street, what a treat to have soup on those cold New York evenings. An after school snack at times was potato cakes with a peanut sauce (Llapingachos).

We were truly blessed to have my beautiful mother home to greet us from school or coming in for dinner after a cold day of snowball fights. My mother missed her country ,but was happy that she was able to continue to cook many dishes from her country for us. When my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews are able to get together we plan an Ecuadorian day of food music and remembering my wonderful parents.
