Peanut Butter!

For the first time today, I laughed as I actually enjoyed fulfilling a stereotype! I really have a craving for peanut butter! And I wasn’t aware of it, but apparently it’s a stereotype that Americans love peanut butter. So, I went to the supermarket and they didn’t have it (sometimes they do). Then I went to the colmado (like the convenience store) and there were about 5 men there, including the 2 or 3 workers. I asked for peanut butter (in Spanish obviously, but you’d think not from the response I got). I received some blank stares, the owner asked me a few questions and handed me a jar of peanuts, to which I replied, no cream! Butter! Peanut butter! One man understood what I wanted and said, that’s like a staple for you guys isn’t it?

So, I left, sadly, without my peanut butter, my craving unfulfilled. I really wanted some bananas with crunchy peanut butter.

Woh is me. Haha, my doña told me to walk to another supermarket because she knows I like to walk. And she said, if it’s not there, keep walking! There’s another one after that.

But, I have decided against it as I need to get dolled-up for the music festival at the National Theater, hopefully, as I said, the first even out of 4 recently that will actually take place!! I’m excited.
