So Jackie and I decided that it was about time
we put our grilling pit to some use so we hosted a
churrasco last weekend.
It’s the
type of food party done (think bbq, but more standardized), and so we enlisted
the help of Omar and Percy (new Bolivian administrator here).
Our only friends here are coworkers (or
the people we pay, ie shopowners), so we invited the team of lab techs and coordinators. Jackie went out and bought tons of meat and some drinks with Omar, while Nate and I went to the market and bought two large
grocery bags of veggies and a cake for about $25.

| yuca, salad, and guacamole |
For starters everyone ate churripan, which is simply a Bolivian sausage in a roll. The classic salad was used- tomato and red
onions dressed with balsamic, and Jackie tossed in some cucumbers (threw
everyone off haha). We boiled yuca-which is basically a starchy root, think
potato- for a filler. Percy made a hot
sauce by blending tomato, hot peppers (locoto),
and some spices. Malasa made her famous
guacamole to set out with some chips.
Omar was grillmaster and made some delicious meat, marinated in a mash
of oregano, basil, oil, grilling salt, and pepper. Delicious!
