Beans + Beans + Beans + Whole Milk

The Guatemalan typical dinner (which I know QUITE well by now....):
Black beans.
Tortillas.
Maybe some rice?

That's about it. Haha. Actually no joke the last 3 nights for dinner I've had a plate of beans (last night they were red beans, so a little different) and tortillas. Oh well. Usually Guatemalans have a bigger lunch, and then just eat something simple for dinner. The typical breakfast includes all the above plus some fried plantains, so at least I get to eat cereal for breakfast instead of repeating my meal from the night before!

Speaking of said cereal - it is always Corn Flakes (I think this stems from Guatemalans obsession with corn, also they're pretty cheap, and the only other option that isn't imported and thus wildly expensive is Choco-Krispies, kind of random). It's kind of a luxury that my family buys me cereal - they usually don't eat breakfast. The very first day I ate breakfast with my family in Antigua they gave me a full bowl of (warm-ish) instant milk, with a box of cereal on the side. Usually at home I only use a little bit of milk and don't ever drink it, so there was no way I was finishing a whole bowl of instant milk. So they took my left-over instant milk as a sign I hated instant milk (not really true, I would definitely eat it, just less of it!) and started buying real milk. Except I feel very bad about their milk purchases - it costs 40Q, which is expensive, and they only buy whole milk in gallon sizes, which I like almost less than instant milk. So then I don't use a lot of it - it goes bad after a week or so, and thus doesn't get finished. Haha, just a bad milk situation. I think they are kind of proud of buying real milk for me though, it's almost a status thing (my family has a fridge, which is uncommon), so I wouldn't want to tell them I don't like it at the almost-end of my trip. So anyway, I'm looking forward to 2% milk when I get back!
