The plantain in all its glory...actually it`s realy delicious fried up
Let me tell you, the potatoes here don`t look like this, but they are delicious!
Not to say that each of
those aren´t yummy on their own. In Peru you can find these three ingredients
for a fair price, but you pay a higher price in the lack of variety. Hitting my
9-month mark of living here, I can finally say I am starting to put a creative
twist on lunch. Most of that is due to the small toaster oven we bought in
Lima. Even if it is a Mexican dish conjured up from a desperate desire to eat
something besides rice and chicken, it´s SOMETHING! Today was a Mexican day,
and Aulo did enjoy it…and guess what else was on his plate? You guessed it.
Rice. And plantains. But then I found myself dishing up some of my own rice.
Yep. I might be addicted, especially with a nice serving of beans to go with
it. That would my Brazilian upbringing.
Let me use all that to say
this simple statement: Papa John´s pizza is a party in my mouth. Our two week
trip to Lima, along with other duties performed, also included a few trips made
with gusto to that famous parlor. There is nothing quite like dipping hot crust
into garlic sauce, after 5 months of not tasting it. But really, all complaints
aside, I do still love me some rice and potatoes covered in spicy Peruvian
sauce.
p.s. I don`t take credit
for the photos. Google was kind enough. :)
