This passed Wednesday I made dinner for my host family! It was quite an experience! I made 3 or 4 trips to different grocery stores in search of the ingredients, I had to look up the ingredients in Italian to purchase them at the store, I was cooking in someone else's kitchen, and I had to free hand all the measurments (not gonna do conversions, not my thing!). With all that and cooking for four hours it was still one of my BEST experiences here so far. It was a challenge and it was baking - two of my favorite things! So, I very much enjoyed the experience! I made bean burritos for dinner and since it was my host parents' 20th anniversary I made them a carrot cake which my host siblings helped with and, which actually turned out really well! We all had a wonderful night with this dinner and just enjoyed each others company.
First random interjection: I found gold today. Or in other words a "porta banana." A porta banana is like a tupper ware case for bananas. It is shaped like a banana so that when you are on the go and you want a banana (always the case in my life) it doesn't get crushed! A true revelation.
Second random interjection: I accidentally ate a couple bites of meat today after being a vegetarian for 2 and half years. Some how, I thought what I was eating a vegetable I didn't recognize - I am a dumb one sometimes!
That is all - Ciao
