Random: The love of my life = Food not Flor

There are a lot of beautiful and sweet girls in this country. Some of them may be falling for me or maybe not. I don´t really know or care, but there is one that is definately falling for me. I made the mistake of practicing my pickup lines with a girl who I would rather not see too many more times. Her name is Florencia which in short we call her Flor. The spanish word flor means flower in english, so I told this girl..."Sos la ´Flor´ en el desierto de mi vida". In english that means "You are the flower in the desert of my life". But I was being clever because her name is Flor hahaha. Somehow she got my number and keeps calling me.

I have grown acustomed to the food here. There is nothing like a lomito completo. A lomito completo is a sandwhich with egg, tomato, meat or chicken, among other wonderfully delicious things.

The pizza is different but pretty good. They have green olives on them and usually consist of ham and cheese with really good crust. The crust comes as no suprise as the bread here is always fresh.

I don´t really drink pop, but the coke here is so much better than in the states. What is even better though, is that almost every kiosko sells a variety of fruit juices. Jugo de Durazno (Peach Juice) is amazing. They also have pear juice, grapefruit juice, orange juice, etc. There is also mate, which is kind of like a green tea. Somebody described it as looking like marijuana once (I thought that was funny). It is perfect for sharing during class or whenever. It is just something to do. Vamos a tomar un mate. We are going to drink a mate.

For breakfast I usually eat criollos (pretty much bread, but really good). I always put dulce de leche on them. Dulce de leche looks kind of like caramel, but is not at all caramel. It is way better and amazingly good.

A really good food for any occasion is an empanada. Empanadas are little tortilla like things rolled up with meat inside. I don´t know how to explain except for that they are really really good.

And the best food of all is the asado. The United States does not have real steak. The steak here is so good, that I go crazy if I go a few days without one. I don´t know what they do to it here but it tastes so much better than anything I have ever had back home.

I am really just bored right now so babbling about the greatness of Argentina. I don´t always realize the culture differences in front of me. However, I do realize the difference in FOOD, but I still love food.
