Rice and Beans!

So its a good thing that I like rice and beans because that is about all their meals consist of. Lunch rice and beans, dinner rice and beans....yummmmy

We sometimes have other foods with the rice and beans but there is normally rice and beans served with the meal. So my mother is a great cook. I never knew you can make rice in beans in so many different ways, last night we had rice and bean soup and it was actually really good.

One thing that I have to get used to is the amount of food. I am normally used to eating throughout the day whenever I want, a bunch of small snacks here and there. But here my family doesn't have any food laying around their house. We have little stores right down the street from us and whenever we need milk or bread for a meal my mom or I will go out and buy it just for the meal we need. So that I am going to have to get used to. I miss my munchies and snacks.

Another thing is they eat dinner really late. Last night it was 8:30 when we sat down. Granted it was delish, but I was hungry when I got home from class at 6:30.

Anyways the food is good so I can't complain, I just have to get used to their eating schedule still that's all. The fruit is so ripe here! And there are lots of new fruits that I have been trying. My family likes a lot of fruit juices as well, they tend to be really too sweet for me though.
