Holy crap. We thought we had it pretty good with field lunches. We’ve finished our major data collection for the season, and have had a couple days of lunches at La Corona, instead of in the field. Boy are we full.
The first lunch we had at La Corona was a heavy meal. Sonia made us a freshly baked meat loaf (pan de carne). It was complete with chopped red pepper and hard boiled eggs, which is typically added to many meats and salads. That was served with mashed potatoes, and we thought we were full from that.
Sonia then brings out some freshly baked homemade apple tarts. She had spent the morning baking up a storm.
Another day, we had arroz con pollo with a curry twist – rice, chicken, peas, carrots, and a subtle curry powder. It was really good, and a nice comfort food type of meal.
The other day we had another fantastic lunch – this time with two impressive homemade dishes. Sonia brought out a pan of bubbling scalloped potatoes, and we thought that was impressive enough. Then she returned with a platter full of Milanese: basically, chicken fried steak topped with a slice of tomato, ham, and mozzarella, and then slathered with tomato sauce. It was fantastic.
We finished lunch off with vanilla pudding – which was not only topped with a little chocolate syrup, but also a smiley faced chocolate cookie. J
Mmmmm pudding
