dinner's served...

Tuesday, I did something that I never would have guessed that I would ever do...

It was my night to make dinner and I choose to make Breakfast Burritos. Lynn, Heidi and Kathryn had only ever had like McDonald’s and were grossed out by them. So I decided to enlighten them. Unfortunatly, you can’t always get the same thing here that you would be able to get in the states. We have been making our own flour tortillas because to ones here don’t taste right. So I made my own for dinner. I didn’t ask Lynn to get hash browns at the store because we already have potatoes so I figured I could make them myself. Well, think again. I tried ‘baking’ them in the oven (a little healthier than frying) and that didn’t really work. Then Lynn tried “frying” on the stove-top and that didn’t quite work either. But they were good enough to eat. The eggs were the easy part. But the thing that I NEVER thought I would do was… Let me back up again… There’s a butcher here that we use when we need… well beef, and the like. Though, we’ve had some trouble with finding some of the same cuts that we get in the states. So, I asked Lynn to pick up some sausage (ground pork) for my dinner night. She left the order with the butch and when she picked in up it was small (finger-size) sausage links. Not what I was asking for. But the links wouldn’t work very well for the burritos (too big) so… I pain-stackingly cut open each one and ‘squeezed’ out all the pork. Yeah, gross. And that’s something that I never thought I would do.

P.S. they were great! Not exactly like home but everyone liked them.
