Enough already! So yes, we complain A LOT about the of food and the lack there of of our favorite things such as produce. Imagine my glee when planning a Mexican feast for a friend's birthday. In the grocery store I actually found flour tortillas. They were real tortillas, just like the kind you have back home. big, round and not crepes or pita bread, real tortillas. They were in a package of six. I was beside myself with joy and ready to pick up a pile of them when the sticker shock hit. $12 a package. Ummmmmm excuse me? So the gang is going to have to eat my funny, misshapen homemade tortillas, but if I do say so myself, they are darn tasty. Oooops so there I was complaining again. Several things that are amazingly better than in the USA.
- Meat- it is read, fat cut off, and delicious. Not a huge meat eater but what I have eaten it is better than anything I have had in the US, maybe ever.
- The trays meat comes on.- Not Styrofoam like at home. Great sturdy heavy plastic trays, savable and reusable. Love them.
- I have already mentioned fresh papaya and pineapple
- Whole grain flour- OH YUM! We go to a mill and buy freshly ground whole,white winter wheat. I haven't a clue where it comes from but a zillion times tastier, and easier to work with than all the hard red winter wheat I have been grinding for years. OK, I don't have my wonderful Bosch here but making three loaves at a time isn't all that bad, good upper body exercise slinging that dough around. (insert picture----fresh from the oven!)
