Had to re-publish I forgot the blog sponsor – Stomach Check Point featuring cultural and modern foods.  Might need a head check to eat here, but worth a try with that catchy name that says it all.

Aug 12, 2010 – Besides battling ants and dealing with the dogs covering the floor of the veranda with shreds of foam from the cushion, the best thing about being left along is eating whatever you want.  Yes, hot pizza and a cold beer every meal.  Not even in my dreams.  No cheese, no refrigeration. 

Being left on my own for meals here reminds me of a time in high school when I needed to fend for my self for a weekend or so one summer.  Must have been summer because of my food choice.  Must have been high school, because the older siblings were not around, and the younger one probably had to go on the trip with the parents.

My food of choice was watermelon.  I’m pretty sure I had watermelon and only watermelon for 4 out of 5 meals a day.  I probably skipped the 5th meal.  Nice cold watermelon, nice thick slices.  Delicsh.

This time my food of choice is guacamole, salsa and baked chapatti wedges (like tortilla chips).  Fresh made quac and salsa.  Delicsh.  Not as easy as the watermelon, having to walk a mile to get the avocados and having to cut up and prepare everything from scratch, but worth the time.  Only having it one meal a day and some for snacks, if their is leftovers.

But the prep work for making a meal for one is not quite worth the work three time a day.  So I’m down to 2 meals if I’m preparing, with maybe a snack if i have leftovers.  Just another component of the Mbita diet.

I’m done,
