i miss perú. especially the food from my dad's hometown, moyobamba. i want to eat the caldo de gallina from the restaurant by the tarapoto airport. i want to travel to the town an hour away from my grandparents' house to eat majás. i want to make juanes with my grandmother. i want to visit my aunts and uncles and eat around lima. i want to go to my mom's hometown, jauja, and eat cuy. i want to go to a random chicken chain restaurant (rocky's? roxy's? they're literally two different chains that are also the same). i want to eat at bembos where they put fries in the burgers. i'll even take going back to houston (where my mom's family is visiting now) and eat at a peruvian restaurant there. it's the first time Ever that i'm comfortable speaking spanish to all my relatives, none of that "i'm so young and they're so old" fear, none of that language insecurity. i want to go see my family :(

#it's independence day soon and i learned yesterday that the consulate in boston raises the flag in front of city hall #and my brother /doesn't want to go/ bc he has work #i talked to my tio jaime in madrid a few weeks ago and it felt so nice and natural #so now i'm kinda craving my extended family #once i get to sf i'm making a lomo saltado or some tallarines verdes or going to a random ceviche place #no i don't trust myself enough to make a dish with raw-ish fish #cabo verde is nice but all of the mentions of creole culture makes me miss peru and south louisiana #i miss peru #peru #peruvian-american #food #peruvian food #comida criolla #comida criolla peruana #28 de julio #where's my type of creole >:(#dash rambles #dash rants #tumblasha #child of immigrant things
