Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
I am back in the United States after my business trip/vacation to Campinas, Hortolandia and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. I ate so much meat and deep fried foods that I decided upon touching ground in the United States that a strict diet would go into effect. And then I ate a box of Trader Joe's "Gone Bananas" frozen dark chocolate covered bananas (see my review here). So much for that strict diet.
While waiting in the Viracopos airport (the new International terminal still under construction), I watched the documentary "Paladar" about two University of Southern California students who opened an illegal, underground restaurant in their apartment.
The documentary was good, but it made me miss my wayward youth AND it made me feel like a complete underachiever. My senior year of college, I worked as a House Fellow (a.k.a. Resident Assistant) in the dorms while working as a receptionist in a real estate office on the weekends (usually hungover) and going to class full-time. My worldview was too small to even imagine doing something as revolutionary as running an illegal restaurant out of my home. I was lucky if I could manage to cook a packet of Lipton Noodles and Sauce in my hot pot!
If you're looking for an interesting documentary or a reason to make yourself feel like an uninspired, under-achiever - check out the movie "Paladar." I rented it on iTunes. It's an interesting flick.
