Food and more food

We have tried many restaurants here. Lots of fresh fish so that's what we've been eating mostly, although it's not the only game in town.

Breakfast is easy to whip up here in our apartment (yogurt, eggs, bacon if we can find some, or ham, bread, bananas, avocado).

One restaurant we enjoyed a plate for two (or 5), chicken stuffed with shrimp and mushrooms, a mound of creamy potatoes in the centre, and pork loin stuffed with nuts and cranberries. Photo attached for your viewing pleasure.

When you have lemons, make lemonade, when you have avocados and lemons, make guacamole! That's what we did yesterday. Delicious! Hey Tim, fresh cilantro. Mmmm.

Oh, and I finally found the Chilean equivalent of jello for the traditional festive jello shooters. No one knew what jello was but should have been asking for gelatina. We're back in business...pineapple mandarin in fridge as we speak. Thinking we may head to the sports bar and introduce them to a new trend.

Grocery store notes:

Security at door and will tag your shopping bags or seal them as you enter to deter shoplifting I assume.
Cashiers all sit, and when they need someone to pack the groceries, they hit a button and their cash light turns on and a kid comes from a row of staff just waiting for their turn to pack. There are usually 7 or more in waiting.
They have one staff just weighing fruit and vegetables and another weighing fresh bread and buns.
Everything is double-bagged and bags are free.
When buying at most other stores (butcher, bakery, dollar store, electronic repair shop) you choose what you want, get a chit from the person you dealt with, bring it to a cash, pay for it, go back to the person who just sold it to you, give them the paid receipt and they exchange it for the goods...a long, inefficient process - but humourous.
