Anybody there?

So my Dad says people are, like, anticipating my next blog post? So basically what I've gathered is that I'm now famous and that my manager and the millions are hurdling my way at this very moment. I'm ready.

Ba haha! Just kidding!

Actually I've gotten really into thinking about things in terms of blog posts. It helps me to be more present in my day. I even have a word doc dedicated to planning out future blog posts. That being said, you and I have some catching up to do:

Unfortunately Chile does not quite have the culinary pizzazz of my homeland of Mexico. Perfect evidence of this would be this stuff: Quillayes, amazing flavorless cheese!

The good news is there are foreigners in every country and thankfully for me these foreigners have not abandoned their food. I’ve already located which metro stop disembarks in the neighborhood housing the Middle Eastern folk (shwarma, falafel, and hummus are all I need to be happy in life!), there are at least 2 good Mexican restaurants that I will eventually network my way to (I’m developing a network!), Japanese food is alive and well (and since all of Chile is pretty much a coast line I actually trust that the seafood is fresh, unlike in Mexico city. Do not eat sushi in Mexico City! askmehowiknow). Peruvian food is abundant and spicy, something that Chilean food is most definitely not. 

Chile does contribute something to the gustatory party, however. The empanadas are cheesy and often the size of tennis shoes (size 8-10). The bread is unremarkable but usually warm. Chileans eat a lot of bread! Someone told me Chile is the second highest ranking country for bread consumption after Germany.

There are also rumors of some delicious desserts known to inhabit Chile so you can rest assured that if they exist. I will find them.
