The Foods That I Eat!

Here are some lovely images of the foods that I eat most often here in Italy:

1. The best type of cookies that the grocery store sells...but actually the regular grocery store doesn't sell them and I have to buy them (overpriced) at a little food place near our apartment...but SO WORTH IT. And I actually eat cookies with milk now so it's quite exciting.

2. My most common dinner meal- noodles with powder cheese and ketchup. It may not look very appetizing to most, but to me it is delicious! My favorite noodles are called tortiglioni, but I like shells, too. I am SO glad they have ketchup here! I am already on my 5th bottle I think....

3. Here are other things that I eat a lot, and also our microwave! In this picture is a package of mortadella (really good lunch meat that I've never seen at home), my favorite type of noodles (called tortiglioni), the two types of cheesy rice that I know how to make now (sooood difficult, haha), and the two main meats of my dinners: fish sticks and chicken/spinach patties (both are so good, but I've never had the chicken with spinach and it is so good!). Spinach is one of the only vegetables that I will eat, and it is in a lot of foods here. I also make these noodles with spinach and cheese already inside them, which are really good. I of course eat these with ketchup.

4.More common foods that I always keep around: my breakfast every day (fake Coco Puffs with a lion on it), the milk I drink every day (there are green and blue containers, but I can't tell the difference and green is healthier so I buy the green), the bread I eat every day for my lunch sandwich (such tiny slices compared to back home!), and my 'emergency fruit'-canned pears. I usually eat 2 apples every day, one for lunch and one for dinner, but on days I run out and the fruit market I go to is closed, I have a solid backup!

5.My favorite snack to munch on- Special Flakes. Sadly, though, I can only buy them at a store near my school, and for a while they have not had them in stock. So, I've had to make do with corn flakes. Not the same! I want my Special Flakes back!!

6. And of course, pizza is a popular feature in my diet, but not as common as pasta in my meals. My favorite is margarita (cheese) =]
