Suddenly, Colombian Food Gets Tastier

Eventually you hit the point of home cooking craving.

Some countries this happens fast (ie – Egypt, which has terrible cuisine – see mulukhiyah). Some countries it rarely happens (ie Brazil, with its fruits, beans and rice, and incredible churrasco).

Colombian food seems be either bland or fried (and oh my goodness do Colombians like to fry things). That’s not to say it’s bad, just a bit boring. We Vander Veens tend to cook very flavorful foods at home, so this is an adjustment.

All of which is to say I was very excited to find this at the supermarket nestled between cheese and yogurt. I’m now putting it on nearly everything, including my cereal. Diego thinks it’s way too hot. I tried to tell him we eat tacos once a week in the states. He just looked at me in confusion.

Vinegar, onions, tomatoes, pepper, and cilantro. What's not to love.

Don’t know about putting that stuff on everything, but the picture of Diego is precious! Can’t wait to kiss him!!!

I felt light headed when I read your post about further delay. If I feel sad I can only imagine what you two are feeling. I know spending it with Diego helps but this is tough. Prayers and patience on you both. On a lighter note the dogs are doing great. I’m enjoying the fight/play that they do at least twice a day. Tucker gets mad about meal time and goes after Lana. She wimps out when confronted by the Alfa dog. Tucker knows not to mess with Kenzie.
Hang in there.
