Mas Comida

I can't help it. I love food. A lot. So here goes another post about the food in the Dor.

arroz--everything here is served with rice. you can't escape it. seriously everything. tonight, my dinner was espagheti con arroz. seriously Tyler? seriously. pasta and rice. so far its great because I happen to love rice, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll last 4 months eating rice twice a day.

ahi--this right here is the reason I'm loving rice so much in the Dor. its this special sauce that everyone makes differently, but generally its citrusy and spicy. some people like it hott (como yo!! though not really my food if ya know what I'm sayin ;) solo chiste!) while others are more mild. some are super soupy and others are more like mayo consistency, but regardless, they are all delicious and rice just tastes neked (for all you yankees out there, that means naked) without it! i really think you could slather anything in ahi and I would eat it. its like the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding with his Windex. "Put some ahi on it." all better!

leche y queso--here's how they make milk and cheese here. they milk a cow and put it on your table. or for the cheese, allow it to mold and then put it on your table. skim milk is almost unheard of...everything is whole. not my fave, but luckily i only need a little to wet my cereal. the cheese is ok when melted, but also not mi favorito. cheddar farmers, yall best be gettin' busy cause I'm gonna bring you some crazy business when I get back stateside.

yogur--do ya'll remember Danimals?? (I believe a shoutout to Danimal himself is un poco necesario here!) the drinkable yogurt! well, welcome to all yogurt in the Dor. Eat your yogurt with a spoon and people look at you like "stupid gringa, can you do anything right?"

Banchis maqueno chifle (sabor limon)--this my friends is the greatest snack food on the planet earth. I plan on bringing home a suitcase dedicated to little bags of these alone. They are lime flavored plantain chips and are quite possibly the king of all snack foods. seriously, if I were a bag of potato chips I would fling myself off of grocery shelves to make way for this guy. Heck, as a human I would fling myself off of a grocery shelf to get a bag of these. Vive el rey!

Jugo--every day I get at least one large glass of juice. whether it comes with my lunch, or its what we drink for dinner. it is all fresh squeezed and made fresh daily. one of my favorite restaurants para almorzar (eat lunch) has a different kind each day. Guayava and mora are my favorites (guava and blackberry). Que ricos!

If I wasn't so full of rice, this just might have made me hungry.
