What's For Dinner?

This seems like the eternal question around this house, and my biggest dilemma in life. It is not only that I can't figure out what to make for dinner, it is that we most times don't have a whole lot in the house to work with. I know this is nobody's fault but my own...but is still something that I daily struggle with. Not only is it dinner that I struggle with, but breakfast and lunch as well. And now that I am pregnant and smells are constantly turning me off to different foods, the challenge has gotten greater. Oh and not to mention the fact that there are no eggs or chicken right now due to bird flu. Ugh....
The boys in the house are used to eating left overs in the mornings from the night before and are not used to our normal American breakfasts. Most days they would rather not eat anything, then to eat an American breakfast. Although Pema does like my pancakes. This morning though there was rice and meat from the night before, so Mike heated that all up and they had breakfast together and I waited until they were all about done eating so that I could have a bowl of Wheat Flakes (exciting I know, but there aren't too many options here as far as cereal goes) Anyway, I waited because I knew if I busted them out before they ate rice that they would want the cereal as well. Sure enough, they still wanted some cereal after finishing their rice.
These days it seems that whatever I am eating is the envied food of the house, which makes it really hard for me to enjoy my meal. I often feel guilty, even though I know that I need to be eating right. I looked up guilt in the dictionary and the definition is this: "The state of having done a wrong or committing an offense." I guess I need to take Mike's advice, that "they are boys and are always hungry and wanting to eat anything and everything, no matter what I may be eating. So just enjoy your food. You are eating for two!"
Ugh...so now I still need to figure out what to do for dinner.

Ok, on a brighter note.....
I realized that often I am always pointing out the negative of what is going on here, so I want to make a list of the things that I love about living here:
1. Relationships are very important here and you can drop by someone's house and have tea or a meal together.
2. I love that the people are very hospitable and will always invite you in and give you something to drink
3. I love the sense of community and that people look out after each other. (even though that took some getting used to)
4. I love that they share what they have.
5. I love the scenery around us. We are surrounded by beautiful mountains and some rivers.
6. I love that I can by all of my vegetables in the market for about $2. (That would include about 4 lbs. of potatoes, 2 lbs of tomatoes, 2 lbs of carrots, cucumbers, ginger, garlic, 2 lbs of onions, cauliflower, chilies, and green beans)
7. I love that we were able to buy Granny Smith apples here the other day.
8. I love mango season
9. I love that the people here love kids. (even though they can get a little overwhelming at times, but they love them none the less)
10. I love the importance of family here, and how they care for each other.

As much as it is hard to live here some days. I think that when we leave here, we will look back and miss it. I know we will definitely miss the relationships that have formed.
