Catching up

Well, I finally have a short homework break, so here's three new posts!

First of all, on Thursday, I finally tried a completo. A completo is a hot dog, Chilean-style. That means, a hot dog with tomatoes, avocado, and mayonaisse (adding ketchup and/or mustard is optional). A lot of people like them, so I figured I shouldn't leave Chile without giving it a try. At first taste, it actually wasn't too bad. Well, by about 2/3 of the way through, I was getting a gag reflex so I tossed the rest in the trash. I think it had to do with the tomatoes, because I was sick to my stomach the rest of the day (I ate it at about 1:30pm) and felt like throwing up everytime I smelled something that reminded me of tomatoes. Yuuuucccckkkkkkkkk. Never again. Interesting, though, last week when I told a tia who was visiting that I had never had a completo before, she was shocked. "Don't they have hot dogs in the United States?" "Well, yes but not with all that on them... just with ketchup, or mustard" And she got this look on her face like that was really disgusting. Hello?!? Have you looked at a completo recently? Besides, if you're going to call it "hot dog" like an American (yes, the Chilean Spanish for hot dog is hot dog), then we should be the ones who get to say whats normal or not.


Anyway, going back a little farther... I have the best parents ever:Yes, that is a heath cake. They sent me the ingredients for a heath cake. Plus a really cute skirt and top. They are awesome.


Love, Katie
