I have been munching snacks since yesterday. Some of them are veggies like beets and an artichoke.
But now I´m craving for something REAL. And I made a very Chilean dish called charquicán because centuries ago it used to be made with charqui. (dry meat). Now it is usually made with meat cut in tiny pieces (I found ground meat) and diced caramelized onions. To that you add all sorts of veggies, depending on what you have. Mine will have potatoes, squash, carrots and corn.
Over it I´ll add a fried egg sunny side up and I´ll fry it in oil with a bit of powered sweet chile.
Clearly, that will be better than just salami, cheese and ice cream.
Friends, my food is ready, I´ll go and fry my egg.

I love snacks. But I also want "real" food. I did not use all the ground meat today. So tomorrow I will either make burgers with the rest or I might use it to make shepherds pies.

@RebeccasFarm It was. In a while I´ll cut a piece of cake and bring a cup of coffee. But not yet. I´m perfectly happy with my meal.

I have been eating in part real food and in part snacks. Tomorrow I´ll eat for real because Anita is coming.

It seems that lately, ice cream kilos last less than before. So it was a good idea to buy the offer of the 2 kilos (or liters, who knows? for almost the price of one. Which gives me the idea to have some ice cream right now.

Salami, cheese and ice cream sounds pretty good to me! I'm tired of PB&J sandwiches. Have a good day.

I´m happy that I can still cook although not as many dishes as before.
