A food tour through Gringolandia, or why it's unrealistic for me to try to start eating healthy again for the New Year

So I've been taking pictures of what I've been eating while I've been home, but I haven't gotten around to sharing the pictures yet.  Be forewarned not to read this if you're hungry.

This plus an orange juice came to 18 bucks.

your lunch for $4 sir?"

Cashier: "Great!  May I see your ID?"  :-D

I do have a few more meals in Jersey as well as 3 days in Miami before I'm back in Santiago, but I wanted to take advantage of the free time while I have it.  Now I'm off to find some inspiration to start eating healthy and shed some kilos once I'm back in Santiago.

  1. Wow, looks like you had a good time in the US! I'm pretty jealous--I didn't get to catch up on as many food experiences as I'd have hoped when I was there! Now I'm in the UK, and they apparently really like Subway. It's on the verge on becoming and unhealthy obsession. Oh well, at least they have pasties!! :-D Keep up the awesome posts!

  2. Thanks Britt! I can´t believe that you´ve already left Chile and are over in the UK now! Keep in touch!
