ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAYS IN 120 WORDS Readings for EFL Students THE OCAS Grammar Point: Simple Past My sisters and I used to eat ocas very often when we were young. My grandfather was a farmer and he would grow ocas─in Ancash, Peru─and send some to Lima for us. Ocas are like a mix of potatoes and ollucos, but a little sweet. They look like fingers.

Every day, my family and I would cook for more than 50 people with different preferences and make various dishes to keep our patrons happy. As a result, during the six years we ran the business, I developed the skills needed to prepare a wide variety of Peruvian appetizers, soups, and entrees. And since I was in charge of─among other things─buying the right ingredients to optimize the quality of the food we served, I learned a lot about cooking by regularly visiting the largest market in Lima, my city. Going to such a big market full of so many fresh products was like reading hundreds of recipes to get familiar with thousands of ingredients as part of a crash course in kitchen basics.
