adventures of the day: we went downstairs to this tiny restaurant that is connected to ourapartment building because we were starving and too lazy to walk anywhere else. anyways, it was like empty and they had a list of three menus on the wall, but apparently we could only order off their special saturday menu. we didn't understand half of the menu, and you get two courses and a dessert. so we just picked arroz cubano (rice) because it looked the most normal, and then for the second course we wanted this egg dish (mostly because we had no idea what anything else was). well, the waiter came back and told us that they didn't have that dish anymore and we could order bacalao or repollo. first of all, we maybe thought that repollo was something chicken related (pollo = chicken) but we weren't sure and caroline had already ordered bacalao so we just said "what she ordered". SOOO while we were waiting for our food, i had the genius idea to look up on my pho
ne what all these words meant and we were so wrong. repollo = cabbage and bacalao = cod. well then. and the rice dish had fried eggs and some tomato sauce (even though they wouldn't serve us the egg dish...but they obviously had eggs?), and the cod wasn't too bad.
life lessons.

moral of the story: look up definitions before you ever order anything
