And Steph, well, when you come visit we’ll replicate a Central American pure food menu in our kitchen. Won’t that be fun! We can probably even pick up a breadfruit in one of Raleigh’s Asian markets.

Oh Ang, you are the Queen of real food. We so miss your restaurant but are thrilled you are not working so hard every day. Restauranteering is beastly business!

Love it! It’s so easy to eat clean over there…especially when fruit and veg vendors seem to be everywhere or even better, come by your house a couple times a week. I will say that casados can get a bit tiring when you live there and you’ll realize that things you’re used to seeing in the States are curiously absent (or cost a whole lot) in Costa Rica. Peaches, lemons, strawberries, grapes, apples, raspberries, blueberries…all export items. But the best pineapples, mangoes, bananas and papaya you’ll ever eat. You come back hoping to replicate what you’ve experienced….and then fall back into the old habits you had before. I hope you can keep it up because yeah…I’m seeing how highly processed foods are here vs. NZ and find myself WANTING IT because 1) it tastes good and 2) it’s convenient. Or it reminds me of what I used to eat so I want it again. My skin looks bad because I’m eating more sugar (and nuts). I seriously need to get a grip and stop with the American “diet” of crap food or I’m gonna regret it! Maybe I just need to move back down there again lol. Come visit if I do?
