Arenoso: Nature #fmsphotoaday #fms_nature #fmspad #may #mayo #2017 Whenever I'm coming back from anywhere at the "Cibao" (a region in the DR) I have to make a "pit stop" to get mom some cashews, locally grown and sold in "recycled" (to use a word) mayonnaise jars, and some roasted sweet potatoes. Now these sweet potatoes have a peculiarity: the locals make a hole on the ground, they fill it with carbon, they light it up, then they throw the sweet potatoes in there, they seal the hole again with the previously removed soil and let it cook until perfection. Nature's own oven! The result is the set up on the side of the highway alongside the cashews, on a contraption made out of a zinc sheet and wood, always accompanied by a battered smoking can.
