Since living here, where we have to walk to the grocery store (sometimes in blinding heat) we’ve become really skilled at “foraging.” We can scan the contents in the fridge and come up with a creative way of combining them together. For example, last night we scanned the fridge to find: onion, cabbage, carrot, and some various sauces (sometimes, the fridge is emptier than others…). Hmm…. We thought… what shall we do? Immediately we decided on a cabbage stir-fry, similar to my mom’s. Dave cut up all the veggies and we had started stir-frying when Dave discovered that the soy sauce had molded. (Yes, when you live in Honduras, not only can you get sunburned when it’s raining, anything that doesn’t move can and will mold.) What to do now!?! So we looked though our other sauces and found an asian sesame dressing. Perfect! When it was all done, we had bowls of sesame-cabbage stir-fry, but it was incomplete. After a bite or two, I thought, this tastes like the inside of an egg roll! Then we came up with it – a deconstructed egg roll! We fried some flour tortillas in oil and ate our “filling” on them! Delicious and easy!
It’s too bad I don’t have a photo; sometimes we don’t realize our personal genius until it’s too late… :)
(haha, when I originally typed this, I misspelled “genius”… how fitting!)
We love you all!

Sounds creative and delicious!
Y'all have become culinary MacGyvers. Just don't add duct tape to the food. :~)
