So I had to make that the title of my post just to make my sister jealous, but that really is what it feels like here. I have tea (çay) at least 3 times a day and bread is the most important part of every Azerbaijani meal. I'm in my host family now (and I love them, they are wonderful) and at dinner the first night my host mother got scared that I didn't like bread because I didn't grab a piece fast enough apparently haha. But, to make my sister feel better, I have to mention that they use a lot of cilantro in their cooking, which is not my favorite. But I'm finding ways to deal haha.
Sorry to post and run, but I do have to catch my group to go home!
Miss you all! I'll try to post again soon!

Well, I guess I have to comment on this post since you titled it just for me :). Trust me, I'm sufficiently jealous of your tea and bread! Azerbaijani cuisine definitely sounds more exciting than pate, pate, and more pate (ou bien, "pot" haha). However, I share your dislike of cilantro, so maybe I'm glad the Beninese haven't discovered spices beyond piment and sesame.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your blog, and I'm glad you're having fun with your host family and fellow trainees. I can't wait to compare notes when we get back! We're going to have some crazy stories!!
Love you!
