Pica Pollo!

Pica Pollo is fried chicken...and made my first batch of fried chicken last night!!! So pumped! There was this pre-made pica pollo mix at the store, picked it up slapped some on a few drum sticks let those bad boys sizzle. Delicious! My cooking portfolio is expanding greatly here. The other day i made scalloped potatoes. Just sliced a potatoe and threw em in the frying pan with some veggies for a few minutes. Super simple, cheap, easy.

I also would like to say that i have been in relatively good health for almost 2 months. Ever since i moved into my own house, i have been feeling so much better. There are a lot of reasons, i think.
1. Im home. I lived with 3 different families over the course of 4ish months. All the moving around and adapting to different environments was stressful.
2. No one washes their hands here, that would be ok if they didnt serve the food by sliding it on your plate....with their hands..
3. Everyone "rinses" cups and plates of with tap water aka devils juice. They dont get that ever bead of water contains a bajillion little parasites.
4. Im eating smaller quantities. Im not eating until i throw up anymore just to appease my host family and feel socially accepted.

Life is pretty sweet.

On the flip side, i saw a woman jump from a bridge yesterday. I think she intended to kill herself, but it really wasnt high enough for that. She ended up landing on the sidewalk with severe injuries.....man that must suck. Whatever she was going through before is now tripled with physical pain....but God obviously had some other plan for that woman.....makes you think.

Well i gotta go teach english now.
Adios
