Since I’ve left NY, I have been craving my favorite foods. This always happens and I thought I had prepared sufficiently by stuffing my face with pancakes, sweet potatoes, Chinese food and NY pizza the week before I left however, I still want to strangle someone when I think about not eating IHOP or Boston Market sweet potatoes for a year.
Lately, thought, I have been replacing my American food obsession for Brazilian ones and this has been working really well. For example, the melted cheese with sweet syrup that they sell on the beach, I can eat 3 of them in one sitting. And today I discovered my breakfast obsession to help me forget about pancakes and bacon and waffles (mmm)… it’s this oatmeal that this guy sells in a little cart on the street. Now I know what you’re thinking, that oatmeal could never compare with IHOP but this oatmeal is delicious! I don’t know what the hell it is, but its got little lumps in it and he sprinkles some cinnamon on top and I just melt. Today I bought two cups from him and walked to the bus stop with everyone staring at me, probably thinking “there goes that fat ass American girl”. However, I don’t give a f*** because that oatmeal is gostoso/ damn good! And as long as I keep walking up the favela hills here, my fat ass will stay tight in my fil dental/ dental floss bikini!

omg I completely know how you feel about the brazilian food used to satisfy american junk food cravings. although please be careful with chunky oatmeal. thats like me and the dam pelo peanuts that were probably boiled in sewage water...that i nevertheless savaged and later regretted when i was unable to sleep because of a stomach ache. the other things i loved were any meat on a stick, random beverages that had shady ice which also gave me a stomach ache, and of course the churros in itapua with dulce de leche!!!! wow...im hungry, and my butt just grew just thinking about all those dam fatty foods...
well i love you rachel
