Project Number 2 - Day 15 (Wednesday)
I felt like it was Thursday all day yesterday and so now that today actually is Thursday I feel like it should be Friday. But alas, it's not. Thursdays are my longest day. I start class in an hour and I dont get home until 8pm. It's not really all that fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
Yesterday morning I went for a run (remember my 3 run/week goal). We're also training to climb Cotopaxi, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. So I'm combining my three run/week goal with the training which produces something very ugly... sprints. My legs haven't felt this weak since the last time I swam for my workout. But oh well, it feels good to break a sweat before breakfast!
Speaking of, I made oatmeal yesterday for breakfast. KERF oatmeal, the one with the banana whipped into it to make it extra light and fluffy. Plus coffee, of course. In the oatmeal I put some strawberries, honey and walnuts. It was super good and filling.
For lunch I was able to come home again, strangely, because my student never showed up for class. We took Chuki to the vet again yesterday because of his paw infection and on the way home we picked up some street food. I had cevichochos and Ryan had hornado. I don't really know how to explain them but cevichochos is a combination of chochos (which is a bean), onions, tomatoes, tostado (dried corn), chifles (banana chips), and aji (hot sauce). Hornado... well why don't we wait till I eat it the next time to explain it.
But that didn't quite fill me up because of the run in the morning. So after that I ate a chicken wing and bbq sauce and a banana. Plus Chuki had a banana for being so good at the vet!
For dinner, I decided I would make lasagna. I don't know why I am so bad at this task. But it NEVER turns out. Last time I didn't have enough sauce, this time I had too much sauce. This is something I will master eventually, just like baking bread! Our "lasagna" was comprised of noodles, roasted eggplant, wilted swiss chard and spinach, cabbage (weird, yes, but delicious!), some sort of homemade cheese spread because the ricotta here is terrible (mozzarella, la chonta - which is similar to brie, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, eggs), caramelized onions, and homemade sauce. The appeal of lasagna to me is that you can make it with anything. Who know! Someday I will produce an actual lasagna! I had two pieces. Despite it's lack of proper lasagna-ness, it was delicious! Plus, we bought a bottle of wine. That's right a BOTTLE not a box. So we shared some wine together as well.
And that's it!
