WIAW: Georgia Food
Well I think it’s safe to say that I’ve already gained a pound or two since I’ve been home. We have been having the most amazing food lately! None of it involved vegetables and a lot of it involved deep fried food and I am totally okay with that. 😛 I’ll get back to those veggies soon enough. Let’s see if you can tell any difference in the way that I eat here! Hint: you can.
Lunch: AWESOMESAUCE
We went to this little hole-in-the-wall Dominican place to pick up a lunch special to go. GOOD HEAVENLY LORD. Some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. You never know when you’ll find a diamond in the rough.
We got Pollo Guisado (stewed chicken), rice and beans, and plantano maduro (fried sweet plaintains…my favorite food in the world).
Dinner: chicken and spinach quesadillasÂ
Dessert: milkshake!
My dad makes the most delicious shakes! This one has strawberries, bananas, protein powder, milk, and ice cream. Mmmmmm.
I’ve got to get to bed, I have an early morning ahead of me!
Thanks for reading!
