Preparing my meals (correction) Preparing my meals (It was intended to be written all in past tense) I do not always prepare my food, but when I do... mheee, I usually cook a large amount of uninteresting things, such that I can go a long time without cooking again. At least, this is what I did when I lived alone, so that I would always had something to eat for dinner when I came back from work.  But it was different for breakfast. I had fruits to start, especially papaya and bananas, while, I boiled an egg, heated an arepa and made tea. For the record: an arepa is like bread made of corn, disk shaped; it is heated in a frying pan, and when it is ready, it is covered with cheese and/or other ingredients. In my case, I put a slice of cheese over my arepa, but in some occasions, I add a kind of crunchy peanuts sauce that I prepared myself.  My favorite uninteresting dish, is a soup of vegetables with chicken. Very fast to do. I just cut a breast of chiken into slices, and cooked it together with chopped potatoes, along with tomatoes, onions, a bit of garlic, string beans and pumpkin. So that, at night, I served myself a delicious plate of soup, with some juice.  Next time, I'll write about how I did my another favorite dish: beans with pork.
