Foodie Fun: CHILE NIGHT

  [Warning: This post is laden with various appetizing photographs!]

I got together last night with a couple of my fellow Scholars for a classic dinner of Chilean goodness.

This entails the staples of Completos and Leche con Platano.

Completos are a jam-packed Chilean version of the average American hot dog. 

Leche con Platano is a typical Chilean dairy beverage fit for your favorite fun-loving primate!

Above you will see just some of the ingredients for a completo: avocados and tomatoes.

  The closest thing to the perfect bun sits atop a stack of wimpy hot dog buns.

 Beef franks! Prepared by my fellow Chilean Scholar.

Three bowls with mashed avocados, diced tomatoes, and sauerkraut.

The avocados have been mashed with some olive oil, salt, and lemon juice.

The diced tomatoes have lemon juice and salt.

Another fellow Scholar adding additional condiments.

"Practice safe eating, always use a condiment."

 A completed Completo! Ready to eat.

YUM! 

After taking this photo, I mentioned putting it on my blog.

Response: "Whoa, I've never been on a blog before."

All gone! In all, I had three. Terrible, yet so good!

However, we did have typical Chilean party music playing...

So I should have managed to burn off at least one of the completos, right?

Until next time, ♥.

This Ain't Digiorno.

I love love love buying premade personal pizza crusts.

I don't eat them regularly, but there's just something special in throwing together this delectable nonsense.

This particular pizza features:

Hawaiian-Style Barbecue Sauce instead of the usual pizza sauce,

a base sprinkling of shredded cheese,

strips of chicken breast (lovingly precooked by mi madre),

a heaping helping of baby spinach leaves,

pieces of fresh pineapple to accent the sauce,

and another sprinkling of cheese to top it all off.

Seriously NOM. 

I nommed so hard.

Om nom nom.

Until next time, ♥.
