Platanos!

I scored a special treat in the check out line at Trader's;
Platanos! Or "plantains" for you gringos. They are crispy, salty, and according to the bag, Peruvian deliciousness. My mom used to make these for my sisters and I as kids. Par fry (thicker) slices of platanos, pull them out of the oil, smash them and then throw back in to finish frying before taking them out to salt. I've already eaten half the bag as I typed this. Must...put... them...away.

Speaking of chewing, I now have a hot date with the oral surgeon the first Friday of September to have all of my wisdom teeth taken out. Oh joy. Apparently they thought it was a good idea to grow in at an angle right into my other molars. This will learn 'em!
