Peanut Butter!

Peanut Butter is not a popular food item here. Some stores sell a very weird form of it, that I've heard is awful and not even worth trying. There are a lot of vegetarians in our study abroad group, so they are used to eating a lot of peanut butter for protein and we've all had peanut butter cravings since we got here. Honestly, we probably wouldn't be craving it so much if Jose had never told us about the lack of peanut butter here. But yesterday a group of us satisfied our cravings by making home made peanut butter! We all bought some peanuts, and snacks to eat the peanut butter with, and met at our friend Audrey's house, where we roasted the nuts and crushed them in a food processor with sunflower seed oil (thats all they sell here) and honey. The batch turned out great, and we ate it with cookies, chocolate, apples, bananas and crackers. And we all have some left over too to prevent more cravings for another week or so.

Ta da!
