Home cooked meal # 8 11/09/08

Today I cooked a simple but yet hearty meal. I had five eggs, a zucchini, a quarter red bell pepper, and Pecorino Toscano cheese. I topped everything off with black pepper and cooked everything with generous quantities of butter. I had a side of yoghurt and a carrot, the yoghurt over here is so different. I used to not really like yoghurt from the states but this one is very different because its not bitter and its more creamy, not to mention the fact that it actually tastes like the fruit that they say on the outside.
It's crazy I know but true. I doesn't taste like chemicals or preservatives. Then the bananas have this extra rich sweetness that I had never experienced before.
I used to not be able to eat eggs without ketchup but since there is no ketchup over here I learned to eat them with other stuff and I think I like it better this way. I can actually taste the chemicals and preservatives in the ketchup. I am so spoiled ahhh I don't know what I am going to do when I go back to the states and see and taste all the weak foods.
Oh the eggs are a thick orange color and they are sold at room temperature...which means that they are not injected with preservatives so that they last longer. I am also going to go on a limb and say that they don't force the chickens to lay eggs four times a day. They are smaller eggs actually so they are probably naturally squeezed out of the chicken.
