This week's experimentation was butternut squash gnocchi with a brown butter sauce, crispy sage and walnuts. We had a great time making them and an even greater time eating them! The recipe is a keeper.

CLASSIC COLOMBIAN GAMES: #Tejogame 🤓
.
It’s widely believed that over 500 years ago, indigenous inhabitants of the departments of Cundinamarca and Boyacá, called Muiscas, enjoyed playing a game that involved launching a disc to hit a target. They called it “Turmeque” and though there’s no official history of the game, it’s rumored that the disc they used at the time was made of gold.
.
With the arrival of the Spanish to Colombia, the game evolved, and the golden disc become a metal disc, with which the game is now played. In the game’s modern version, Tejo, the target is a raised clay-filled box with gunpowder in the center, to produce an explosive sound. In June 2000, Tejo was declared a national sport by the Congress of the Republic. Today it’s played across the Andean highland area of Colombia, notably around Tunja, the capital of Boyacá department.
.
To play the game, players throw a metal disc, the “tejo,” across a 20 meter protected alley to the target box. At the center of the box, a metal pipe is equipped with small exploding targets, or “mechas,” that contain gunpowder. On impact with the tejo, the mechas explode loudly, which signals a successful toss 🙌🏽🙌🏽
.
You can catch tejo tournaments across the country 🇨🇴
