chilean food

Hey Guys,

So i dont have school today, no idea why, and so im bored and decided to answer a few questions people have asked. Primarily, how does food work in Chile? What does Lura eat?

Okay so we wake up in the morning, get dressed and go downstairs to eat desayuno (breakfast). This is usually a cup of warm milk and cereal (crazy i know) and or toasted AMAZING bread with jelly or honey. The pan here is basically to die for, im in love with it. My host family always teases me because it is obvious that i am going to come home 20 pounds heavier.

Then I go to school..... at one I come home for almuerzo (lunch). My host parents are home all day because they run a store outof the house so my host mom makes lunch from scratch every day. It´s always amazing. Like soup but thicker with different vegetables in it and meat (:() But, she knows i dont like meat much so i dont eat it everyday. She is such an amazing cocinadora.

Then I go back to school at about 2 30 and stay there until five, or seven, depending on if i have soccer. At about 7 30 we eat onces. Which, is basically my favorite meal of the day. We have bread and avacado- palta (which is delicious here) or different things on top as well as tea or coffee. I dont know why i love it so much, probably because i think it is just so cute.

On special occasions there is dinner too at about 10 PM. We´ve only had it once since ive been here and that was when we celebrated my and my host mom´s birthday the first day. It is so hard to eat though because you are full from onces. So yep, occasionally we have torte which is like cake but better, but not too often.

Last night, my host sister and i made chilean doughnut things. I wish i could have taken a picture but my camera was out of batteries which remind me, i have pictures from school to put up. Ill do that later.

I can´t remember the other questions so later.....
