I am off to bake some cheesy chipa!I'm not going to bake it in the traditional oven you see in the backround of the first picture. That takes too much work (but it does taste better). Paraguayan ladies will fill the brick oven up with wood and sticks and get a huge, hot fire going. After the fire dies down a bit they brush the coals out of the oven (with fresh, green weeds tied on to a broom stick) and put the chipas in usually on banana leaves. I think I will spray my trays and cook them in the oven. I will sweat enough while doing it the american way.
Some of you (relatives) in the north are enjoying the snow and we are enjoying 32ºC.

can't wait to taste chipa again!!! wow, yeah, it's really cold here. also looking forward to some warmth!
Ummmm, fresh chipa!
Ohhhhhh Chipa!!! I should whip up a batch with the last bit of stinky cheese that I have left in the freezer. Violet didn't realize that mandioca flour and tapioca flour are the same thing. She wants to make some now, too! Maybe we'll bake some to keep warm this weekend. :)
While the fresh chipa sounds good, the warming up part certainly does not.
Finally have time to be at my computer and this chipa sounds sooo good right now. It would definately warm up my kitchen.
Think I'll try some of that easy recipe you gave us with the flour in my freezer.
