Food Disasters

I ate blood, unknowingly, for lunch yesterday. Marieta made us this soup with navy beans and Morcilla. Morcilla is made from a pig's blood and blood vessels that are heated up until the blood is solid and looks like a black sausage. We of course didn't know what Morcilla was because were American and still not very familiar with all these different Spanish foods that I can never remember the names of. However, I will remember the name of this food, forever, because I never want to mistakenly eat it again. This was just a one time thing and at least I can say i tried it I told Marieta I liked it, because again I had no idea what it was and I was starving like always. I don't know how to kindly tell her that I never want to eat that again now that I know what it is.Around 9 o'clock ate night, past the normal time we normally eat dinner, Marieta was still not home. Jen, Jen, and I were curious as to whether or not she would be feeding us tonight. (That makes us sound like were animals at the zoo haha) We contemplated taking a trip to the near by Burger King, but decided against it. Earlier that day I asked for bread and almost ate the whole thing. I had one piece left and I was saving it for later, but it got thrown away while we were straightening up our room. Welllll I became desperate for food, so I went in to my little garbage I had and ate my piece of bread. Gross I know, but in my defense my little bag of garbage only had some paper in it and I needed food. Anyways, this does have a happy ending. Marieta came home and made us Albondigas, which are like meatballs only made with eggs, meat, bread, and potato. Oh and we also had a plate of tomatoes for all of us to share.This plate of tomatoes gets me every time because we have it with every meal.
