Today has been a really great day! I got off work at 11:30 then had some bonding time with my roommate, Alexis! Alexis is half Cuban and half African American, so she taught me how to cook a traditional Cuban meal. We fried plantains, sautéed chicken with sundried tomatoes, garlic, and orange peppers, and made Spanish rice with spicy sausage. And pineapple upside down cake for dessert, of course! This is one part of my journey that has been really tough. I'm new in the kitchen, so I've really enjoyed learning new aspects of cooking. I find it really relaxing and fun! I've also written down all the recipes, so I plan on trying them once I get home! Mom and Dad, hope you're ready! I'm excited to learn more!
Also, I got a letter from my parents! And a cool Mickey Pez! This definitely made my day! I love and miss you guys!
