Two days into the $5 a week food challenge and so far so good! The theme of day 1 was SUGAR WITHDRAWL. I had no idea how much sugar I consume until I had to give it up. Left with a 1/2 lb of table sugar to ration throughout the week, I found myself savoring the two glasses of lime juice I made for the teaspoon of sugar each one contained. If I make it out alive, I have a feeling it will be with clearer skin and maybe a pound or two lighter!
I have also tackled the oh so challenging task of making tortillas. Most of the tortillas I have made to date have been with a press; but since I don´t have one of those, I have to learn the old fashioned way. My first tortilla did not turn out so good:
(If you are curious, I still ate it.) Since then, my tortillas have been improving, and are actually starting to look like something you would eat in a Honduran´s home. At least I have 5 more days to perfect them!
