Meat Juice

You know, each day is just a new adventure in Mexico. I helped cook again for some guys at the church. I made Mexican rice, and something called bisteak. It's small pieces of thin steak, that's cooked with tomatoes, onions and chili peppers. My teacher, Rodrigo, cooks the meat separately from the veggies and adds it all together to finish cooking. While it was cooking I walked away, and when I came back he tried to hand me a glass of brownish-greyish liquid. We went back and forth a bit until he finally said it was "jugo de carne" or meat juice. I still refused it, and he asked me "no te gusto" don't you like it? I told him I don't, so he squeezed some lime into it and gulped it down. Ok, really....that's just gross. The arroz y bisteak Mexicana turned out well and got rave reviews. I think Rodrigo is a great teacher, but it would help if I spoke Spanish of he spoke English.

I was thinking about something else I wanted to blog about, but now I don't remember. It's my bed time anyhow.
