I've been on mission trips to Nicaragua and have learned a lot each time. Here are a few things I've learned:
-my Spanish is terrible
-the people of Nicaragua are awesome
My buddies
-you politely ignore the eyeballs that are still on the fish that you are served
The eyes followed me wherever I went
-if you sleep outside, rats may run through what little hair you have at night
-people aren't whipping handkerchiefs around like a helicopter for fun, it keeps the bugs off of them
-in recipes that call for mayo, you can use avocados instead
You may have already knowns that, but it was new to me. Avocados are a great way to get in some healthy fat, protein, and fiber.
Here is a great recipe I have been using lately that you can test this theory with. It may have a different name, but that's what I'm going with.
Nicaragua Egg Salad
Combine together in a large bowl:
-6 diced hard boiled eggs
-2 diced avocados
-2 diced roma tomatoes
-1/2 diced onion
-Handful of jalapenos
Sprinkle the whole mixture with lime juice
Then add garlic salt and pepper to taste.
