Food Post

I know you are all excited about this post, and you have good reason to be. Kinda how our food schedule works is like this. We get groceries from the school every week for breakfast and dinner. For lunch we eat at a local restaurant. Usually at night we make mexican food on our own, but the Most authentic would be from the restaurant. Its Basically a three or four course meal, and everything is very homemade. Either you choose first course soup or rice. The soup is pretty basic. But Sometimes They do alphabet noodles. 

Then magic like this happens, but usually I get the rice because of wheat allergies.

Pretty basic.

Course two is Usually a mini toastada or taquito

Also Usually we get some sort of drink with it. Most of the time its some sort of lemon, mango, or pina flavored water.

Third course they'll bring out 3 plates with different main courses on it. Chicken and vegetables/salad is actually pretty common along with cheesy enchiladas and such. I usually stick with chicken because I like knowing what I'm eating.

BUT just for fun here's some more authentic main courses:

Course 4 is desert (and It Seems rude if you do not eat everything.)

Usually its jello, yogurt, or fruit covered in sweetened condensed milk. And if I'm really unlucky, its rice in sweetened condensed milk (barf, rice should NEVER be sweet.)

 The jello Might look good, but do not let it fool you. Its pretty gross.

Other than that its pretty much groceries! Just to give you a run down of what we got this week:

As you can see a lot of it is fresh produce which is honestly my favorite part about Mexico so far (honestly the pineapple is to die for.) Also the mangos pretty much taste like some sort of sweetened tropical drink, yes they are that good. Everything else is tomatos, onions, cilantro, eggs, torillas, milk, maple syrup, (not sure why they bought that for us cause they didn't get pancake mix or anything, just syrup) also bananas, leche, yogurt, peanut butter, frijoles, and queso.

And finally, el diablo of my life is the Panaderias. Mexican bakeries. You can literally smell them everywhere. Just Imagine someone fresh cinnamon rolls baking everywhere and thats what it smells like.

Mexican version of a cinnamon roll ^ 

oh and the ghetto version of ding dongs:

So yea! Hopefully that covers everything food wise for now!
