Happy Mother´s Day!
I celebrated my going to my Grandma and Aunt´s house! While there i asked what we were having for lunch and my mom proceeds to say speghetti. The night before I distinctly remember her asking if i like speghetti and I said,¨yes.¨ So i look at the bowl on the table all knowing that we stopped at a the ¨Chifa¨(a chinese restuarant) before we came to my Grandma´s house and there sat noodles and chicken with a type of chinese sause. All thinking to myself this was not what i pictured but i told my mom i liked speghetti the night before so i had to eat it! in the end i actually really enjoyed it and got seconds for once since being here!
Part 2 of Food:
Today the group broke off and we were able to go out and eat at any restuarant of choice. It ended up being Rachel, Julia, Jordan and I in a group. After walking for some time and trying to find a decent looking place to eat we find one and order the ¨Menu¨ which is different here. The ¨Menu¨ includes an appitizer, main dish, and drink all for 6-7sols. After sitting down and ordering our appetizers we then ask how much it will cost and our waitress says 5 sols.- mistake one!
She kindly brings us our soup and I look at it and all i see if a chickens FOOT!- mistake 2! like the skin and everything in tack. I lookk over at Jordan who starts to smile and i try to not make any facial expressions. I just tkae the entire foot out of my soup and only eat the noodles! when i was done i put the foot back in and handed the waitress my bowl. the main dish comes and i ordered steak because all I´ve had here is chicken and wanted something different. This is the main reason I always order the same thing because i know what i´ll be getting in the US. She hands me my plate of beans, rice, cole slaw, and ¨steak¨ All that the steak is a little sliver of meat covered in fried Grease! - mistake 3 If you know my well you know how sensitive my stomach is to grease, so i took a few bites but i couldn´t even taste the meat so all i ate was the rice! And the pure fact that we couldn´t see the kitchen which we were advised to go somewhere the kitchen is in view, which we didn´t do! - mistake 4. Needless to say it was an experience but the 4 of us had a great time and we tried to have fun with our mistakes! Let´s just say now we know! and with the 2 sols we saved from eating out cheap we went and got some icecream in a package from a lady on the street! :) ohhh good times in Peru!
