...almost.
Only one more paper stands between me and summer break! Although, it already feels like summer in Arizona, since it was 105 today (!!!!). I'm not ready for this. But I am ready for my summer break. This has been once of the busiest 9-month periods of my entire life. Grad school, teaching undergrad classes, plus two other jobs and I'm auditing Spanish classes in order to pass proficiency levels in a third language at the end of my master's program.
How am I doing all this?! Alcohol, coffee and sodas are not the answer. I've cut waaaaay back. Adrenaline perhaps?
In lieu of writing my final 8-10 page paper (I'm at a 6-page "English" outline), I'm going to talk about my first experience eating Chilean food. Today we had "completos italianos" a Chilean dish so named because all three toppings are in order of the Italian flag: tomatoes, mayo and guacamole. However, I opted for spicy mustard instead of the mayo and plopped it all inside a whole wheat bun.
Oh yeah, it was also my first time cooking/eating a tofu dog.... and it tasted pretty much like any other hot dog I've ever had before! Being semi-vegetarian/pescetarian has really opened my eyes to a lot of new flavors and products over the past five months.
COMPLETOS ITALIANOS (DE SOYA)
- tofu dogs
- whole wheat buns
- 1 tomato
- 1 avocado
- mustard/mayonnaise
Grill the tofu dogs and season with salt and pepper, they will cook on the stove in less than two minutes. Toast buns and chop veggies in small, bite-sized pieces. Mash up the avocados. The correct serving order goes as follows: spread mayo/mustard on the bun before placing the hot dog inside. Then top the dog with guac, mayo/mustard spread and finish with the diced tomatoes.
Bon appétit.
I guess I should get to my final French paper, shouldn't I...
