More fruit.

You see, to me almost all the fruit that is sold here in Chile is exotic. My normal tradicional fruits are things like passion fruit, big pineapples, etc., that's life in tropical Venezuela for you.
So I see this HUGE plum, super big, juicy, beautiful color, better aroma, and it strikes me as amazing.

Fruit.

Fresh fruit is the best, the smell of this peach is awesome. I wonder why, with all our scientific advances nowadays, that no one can mimic artificially this smell to be exactly like the real fruit.
I mean, anything artificial "peach scented", to me, smells weird, tinny and sometimes headache-inducing.
Now, excuse while I go to heaven and eat my peach ^___^

DIY wreath

Want a cute christmas decoration but you're on a budget? That was me today, so I decided to make something on my own.
I had an old wire hanger and some gold/red ribbon, so I went to the xmas faire and bought cheap materials:
1 green garland. 300 pesos.
1 tea light (battery operated). 790 pesos.
12 tree decoration balls. 1000 pesos.
Total spent: 2090 pesos = 2.7 euros = 3.4 US dollars.

So all I did was twist the wire hanger into a circular shape, leaving a hook at one end (to hang the wreath), another little hook at the other end (to close the circle), and a loop in the middle fitted to put the tea light in (it had to be tight so the light doesn't fall).
I twisted the garland through the wire in loops and alternated the xmas balls in a way I liked.
I made a sort of decorative knot with the ribbon and knotted it on top.
Done!

Sweet

I ate two peanut butter cups for dessert today, they were that Great Value brand that walmart offers in the Lider supermarkets here in Chile. I liked them, I find Reese's (sp?) too sweet, but because these are small they seem more decent lol.

Ichigo no produce

We got 2 kg of super yummy strawberries at the market for 1.000 chilean pesos, which would be around 4 pounds for 1.3 euros / 1.7 US dollars, pretty good if you ask me.
Bro made preserves, which ended up with the same consistency as store-bought jam but soooo much better! Delicious taste and awesome smell ^___^

Bro ate a Pulmay dish the other day and I took a pic! A pulmay is a "curanto en olla", meaning: a traditional stew usually made in a hole in the ground, but this one is made in a pot. It has all kinds of sausages, pork and chicken, sea food, potatos, pumpking, greens, the works. It is SO GOOD it's unbelieveble.
