OK, so those of you who know me well....probobly more than you ever wanted to know- know that I live on peanut butter. I know its sooo quintesential bachelor of me, but I love a good peanut butter sandwhich, what can I say? Sans jelly of course...you dont need all that sugar! Always on wheat, and if I´m feeling extra culinary- I´ll add sliced banana´s, honey, and put it on toast. Yes its kind of wierd that I eat this for dinner most nights at home. But what can I say, its like getting all the protein out of a cheeseburger with out all the greese. Its fast, easy, and healthy.
As I sat in on my Spanish instruction the other day, my professor, made a side not after teaching me ´mantaquilla´ which is spanish for butter. He says to me with a sort of smiling suspicion, do you know peanut butter? Happy to hear he knows about my obsession- I loudly proclaim my love for the formula. He laughs wildly, after he calms down... with a queit speech- proclaims his disapproval. I obviously inquire further to find that it does exists in Peru, but it is expensive and considered an éxtra´item at the grocery store. ....not for me...
I went to the store after class, to buy my beloved butter. It runs about the same price as it is in America. Which is expensive since everything else here is about 1/5 of the price...if not less. And its not exactly JIFF, but thats ok with me. It keeps me sane, and healthy. I´m finally gaining back the notch I took in on my belt! I´m eating more now that I have it at my home here- because there are only so many times you can eat chicken in a row! And my Spanish is not good enough yet to buy meat from the butcher at the market....hell I don´t even know how to do it English! Who am I kidding?? If it doesn´t come pre-cut and wrapped up in plastic, I´m lost!
Oh, also to my delight, I found roman noodles.
I´m living now!!
