My corn tortillas are almost gone; they probably won't make it to tomorrow night. But it's okay - I'm feeling okay. The purpose of corn tortillas in my life here is to provide a sweet refuge in my memories of American food. The variety and combinations, the accessibility, and the tastes. I've had people import corn tortillas for me twice now. Soon, they'll be gone.But I have a plan. More polenta. I've grown to love polenta. Which is not a hard thing to do here in Romania. As of today, I have three months left here (I fly back to Providence on July 1st). So for three months, I can embrace the simplicity of the Romanian vegetarian diet, and eat my fill of polenta.
(and no, the meat in the photo is not part of the veg diet)
