Pasta, Pasta, and more Pasta

The food continues to be awesome. I have never ate so many carbs in my life. Typically, we have a pasta dish every night, but once in a while the head lady (Helen) here will grill. So far she has grilled chicken once and Florentine steak once. The T-bone steak was grilled a couple days ago and it was real thick. It tasted amazing, people were cutting it with knifes and being polite. I couldn’t take it anymore so I picked it up and cleaned it down to the bone, then making sure everyone had one, I went and grabbed a second steak. Not too often we get beef, and I am a meat and potatoes kind of guy. My professor commended me; he’s an avid fan of good food too. After the steak, Helen grilled some bananas with chocolate in them for dessert, awesome!
Their lunches are their main meal for the day. For lunch we usually start out with a fresh-home-made soup and then they bring the second course out which usually contains chicken or pork with pasta. After the main course is when you can get your coffee and a fruit, which is always fresh. I noticed they do not eat snacks throughout the day like we do. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are what they eat, and they have an ethics as to what you eat first and how you eat it. At the grocery store they don’t have Doritos, Ho Ho’s, Twinkies, junk food is rare. So for my mid-day snacks for the last month I have been eating peanuts, because they don’t eat sunflower seeds. So my habits I am quitting: sunflower seeds, chew, junk food, and cutting down on coke.
