Completos and Havana Salsa

Completos, which are extremely common in Chile, are hot dogs

lathered generously with avocado, mayonnaise, and tomatoes.

Monday marked the first actual day of real class. It went really well, especially since I only have one class on Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:00 am - 10:30 am. I did have tutorial at 3:00 pm, so I couldn't necessarily leave the center right away to go home. In any case, I started up doing Insanity with Angela almost everyday, who is a beast at it. After class, I decided on a whim with Brittany to try these famed completos that every Chilean has raved to me about. Brittany and I went to Domino, which is a huge hot-dog joint that specializes in completos of every kind. The traditional completo is an italiano, which is what Brittany and I ordered. I was super hungry, so I ended up ordering two. Don't judge. You wish you were me.


Soon after enjoying my completos with Brittany, I headed home for an amazing dinner of pasta and grapes. I realized that I'm already eating significant healthier than I usually do in the United States. Maybe I could get used to this.

This dessert my mom made with banana looks so good that it would be a crime not to mention it here.
