Used To Have A Little, Now I Have A Lot

Sometimes I get Mexican food in Utah.

And sometimes I get Mexican food in Thailand.

I lie, I only did that once. Yesterday actually.

I'm proud of myself, i've pretty much ditched all other food for Thai. Uhh except breakfast... I eat cereal, yogurt, granola, ya know, all that American goodness intermixed with Thai goodness. And some mornings I have both because I can't decide which goodness I want more. No denying myself any food desires here!

But I haven't even craved home food all that much.

Okay...i lie again. I have only craved a few things from home, the bad part is that i've craved them hard! BBQ Hamburgers and pretty much anything baked. Such as cake and muffins and cup cakes. The cake here is spongy and weird, so I avoid it for the sake of not heightening my cravings.

Anyway, Mexican food HIT. THE. SPOT.

Yumm.

I've never been to Mexico so I don't really know what constitutes real Mexican food. But it felt more Mexican than Cafe Rio if that helps (yeah...my only Mexican reference point is Cafe Rio...which WILL be my first meal when I get home.)

Funny thing is. It was Anna's first time having Mexican food. Or seeing it. Ever. Say whaaaaa???

Trying to explain what a tortilla is and sour cream and a burrito and a taco and an enchilada is a HARD thing. Try it one day. Especially to someone that doesn't speak your language.

We ended up ordering her a combo plate consisting of a quesadilla, burrito, and taco. She was stunned at the mass amount of food but handled it like a champ. Another funny thing. We had to show her how to tilt her head in order to eat her taco. I guess my taco eating skills are something I take for granted. But once again, she was a champ.

So it was a cultural experience for all. I got to experience Mexico in Thailand, and Anna got to eat a taco. Sounds like a good night to me!  

I think this is a fitting picture of everyone.
