Right before we left our training site we had a day all to ourselves where we got to cook whatever we wanted. This was to help us learn how to cook and survive on our own. Unanimously, we all voted to cook Mexican food; it's cheap, easy, and delicous.
Tim, Kate and Sam were in charge of making some of the guacamole.
We also had some mac and cheese which we were also pretty excited about eating. Not having to much access to cheese can get any cheese lover excited when ever it's around. I know I was jumping for joy and I hardly ever ate mac and cheese back at home.
We also didn't have enough plates or untensils but that did not keep us from finishing it all up.
Amelia, Arnaldo and I worked on frying the tortillas. Now that i've learned how to make tortillas I feel like I want to make them all the time now for my host family. I can't wait to go back home to show my mom that I know how to be a better cook.
This is mostly everyone from my training village gathered around ready to eat a good meal that we all worked so hard putting together. They have all been an amazing, funny and supportive bunch of people. I'm glad that we all had our training site together and that we have all had a chance to get to know one another. I love them all.
Our final product. In the end we were able to whip up guacamole, spanish rice, spicey black beans and veggie burritos all mixed in with cheese and sour cream. Talk about a good home cooked meal. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmm. :)
