Project Number 2 - Day 8 (Wednesday)

Breakfast - I had a banana and some yogurt with a little bit of granola!

Lunch - Ryan and I went out for lunch together today. There's this Columbian restaurant next to Merck (where we both have classes) and so we finally got around to eating lunch there. It was DELICIOUS! The almuerzo for the day was a really hearty bean soup, chuleta (which is beef, served with an egg and avacado), rice and a little salad. Plus juice and chocolate flan. All for $3! Then at the end we split the most amazing dessert. It was a pastry dough, similar to mille fois in the shape of a turn over, topped with manjar. Lots and lots of manjar. It was sooo good.

Dinner - I made pasta for dinner on Wednesday. Just something really simple but delicious. This is actually my current favorite way to eat pasta: Boil the noodles. While that's going put about 3 tomatoes and a head (not a clove) of garlic, some salt, pepper and chili flakes in the pressure cooker. Let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes. Then while the pasta is boiling and the sauce is cooking, take all of the veggies that you have in the house and cut them up and saute them for a couple of minutes, till warm and not super crunchy. Combine the pasta, the sauce, the veggies, a little bit of cheese, some more salt and pepper, and if you're feeling up for it a splash of vinegar. YUM YUM YUM.
