Contigo Peru

"El aji de gallina... puede ser muy picante? extrapicante?"

--"You from Arizona? Texas?"

laughing, "No."

--"Where?"

"Massachusetts." world's hardest word to attempt with a quasi-Spanish accent

--blank stare "Ah, sí... Masatuses."

"Pero viajé mucho en Americalatina!"

--"Peru?"

"Sí!"

--"Bien picante!!!"

And then I ate a deliciously spicy meal of chicken stewing in a sauce of yellow aji peppers, ground walnut, milk, cheese, garlic, onion, and happiness. Great Peruvian restaurant in Belgrano! Wooo!
