tonight i made the only bolivian meal i learned how to make while there. it's called majadito. it's rice and onions and ground beef, topped with a fried egg and fried plantains on the side. it turned out really well, actually. but i think i realized the only reason i really liked the bolivian food was because my meals came so few and far between. tonight's meal really wasnt very good even though it turned out well. when i had it in bolivia, i hadn't had anything to eat all day, and i ended up eating three plate-fulls of it and thought it was amazing. the plantains were disappointing, but i think it's mostly because you probably cant get very good plantains in the states. and at the grocery store, the cashier girl rang them up as green bananas, which were more expensive, but i was too lazy to point out her mistake. you just cant find good help these days.

i get stressed out when i cook.
