LIMA DAY 10: Another Day in Paradise

Sunday, March 13

First, here's an Octopus. I couldn't wait for Dinner to post it.

The other day, Sandra's Aunt sent over some Rice with Chicken for me to try out. Apparently, the Duck lobby wanted me to "Eat Mor Chickn."

I had it for Breakfast, and when I liked it, Sandra said that her Aunt would have me over for some next time.

Sandra had suggested that we go to Mahumi, all the way in San Martin de Porres, for Lunch. It's all the way far from Miraflores, but, she said, they have really good food, and the prices are, well, not Miraflores prices. Off we went in a taxi.

We ordered a pitcher of Frozen Chicha Morada. Between that, and the fact that the place is Air Conditioned, it's now one of my favorites.

For our Appetizers, I had a Cebiche, and Sandra had a salad that was full of Nutritional Stuff that I had never heard of, but she looked them up on her phone, and it was true.

For Our Main Courses, Ed had a Chicken Breast with Mashed Potatoes (I have been running his stomach ragged, and he needed to slow down, he said), Sandra had Ravioli (the special of the day), and I had Mero a lo Macho.

My Fish Filet was covered with mixed Seafood in a slightly spicy Sauce, and it was delicious. I tried one of Sandra's Raviolis, and it was excellent as well.

Only Sandra had Dessert. She ordered the Quinoa Brownie.

Hanging with Ed has certainly taught her how to take Blog Photos.

Ed and I tasted the Brownie, and it was warm and delicious. I have no idea what the Quinoa brought to the table, but it was in there, I guess. It tasted like a Chocolate Brownie to me.

After resting up in the afternoon, Ed and I did a little exploring of some Lima neighborhoods. He really likes La Punta, out by the port area.

For Dinner, we went to Jose Antonio in San Isidro. It's one of my standbys; they serve classic Peruvian Food. Really good classic Pervian Food. It's all dark wood and hushed waiters, but the food is excellent.

We started by splitting an Octopus.

By 'split,' I mean that Ed had a little, and I had a lot of the Octopus.

FOr our Main COurses, we both ordered the Steak. Ed had his straight up, with Fries, and I had mine 'a lo pobre,' which means it comes with a Tacu Tacu (Rice and Bean Patty), Plantains, and on top -- a Fried Egg.

We bith polished off our dishes.

On the way home, we walked by 4d, which is a diner-type place. I got a cup of Gelato for Dessert; Ed watched.

That was it. Only two Meals, unless you count all of them In which case, it was three Meals.
