Mmmm... Mexican food. Is it really a surprise that it's better here? Unlike when I was in Spain, my host mom here actually makes every meal an authentic meal. And each one has been absolutely delicious. Not only are my taste buds pleased with each dish, but so are my eyes. Please notice Exhibit A. Blanca served this to Robin and I a couple days ago for lunch. It is enchiladas with cabbage on top. As most of you know, my stomach is rather small. Not to fret, it is growing with each meal. This morning for breakfast I ate delicious huevos rancheros (hence the Rent reference in the title). It consisted of a fried tortilla, ham, eggs, and salsa verde. Typically it also includes beans but Blanca caters to my dislike for them. haha.In addition to the dishes themselves being "muy rico", the ingredients are also "muy rico". Namely, the cheese. I probably consume cheese in at least 1-2 meals a day. Not that I mind. There is this fantastic cheese Blanca gets from Oaxaca that I'm head over heels in love with. The closest comparison to a cheese in the states is probably string cheese. But not really, because that makes it sound really squeaky and shiny. Trust me, if there was someway I could get it past customs, I would.
