We finished teaching a taller at 5 today. K helped Hna S finish cleaning the CRE while C introduced me to popular rock music of the 80s and 90s such as Enanitos Verdes and Fito Paez, so we didn't leave until around 6. Of course we were hungry, so we decided to go to Baleadas Express for dinner. We figured it was fitting to have Honduran baleadas tonight, and then Salvadorian pupusas when we're in El Salvador tomorrow.
We've gone to Baleadas Express probably about five times since we've been here, and today was the first time we successfully ate them without using a fork. A baleada is a tortilla with beans, sour cream, and eggs. You can also get other stuff on it like chorizo and avocado. They just fold the tortilla in half with all the stuff in it- and these are like, fresh flour tortillas that are pretty big. The first time we got baleadas mine totally fell apart and I had to eat it with a fork and knife, and since then I've gotten a fork to use to eat my baleada. Well, today we didn't even think about getting silverware to eat our baleadas. K and I were both about a third of the way done with our baleadas when I realized that we were doing pretty well at eating them without them falling apart. I had just thought this when I looked up to see mantequilla strewn across K's face, and thought that maybe that wasn't so true. However, K wiped the mantequilla off her face and we proceeded to finish eating our baleadas without them falling apart or making a huge mess. Here's a picture of K eating a baleada the other week(this is a smaller one that she made herself).
