Food, Dishes, etc.

Here I am in the kitchen, making the big meal of the day. We are having crepes (I know, not very Honduran).  The evening meal may just be something like scrambles eggs and beans on a tortilla, nachos or leftovers. 

This is the dish washing soap.  You dip the wet sponge in the hard cake and scrub your dishes, then rinse with water (cold in this case).  There is only hot water available in the shower.  It does take a little getting used to doing dishes in cold water, but everything gets sparkling clean and no one gets sick, so apparently it is fine.

 

Instead of jars or cans, a lot of grocery items come packed like this in a foil pouch.  They eat red beans here and they are very tasty, especially when they are cooked with the Honduran cheese below and eaten with tortilla chips.

It is kind of like mozzarella, but saltier.

Milk comes like this on the shelf.  It makes it handy to stock up, since you don't have to refrigerate it and the taste doesn't seem much different than what we use in the states.
