of fridges and shopping carts...



I don't really like feeling LARGE and there are a lot of things in Chile that make me feel large. Some of these are women who are 4'8" tall and weigh 80 pounds, short kitchen cupboards where the counter top hits the top of my thighs, and very small refrigerators. Our apartment has a very small refrigerator. Sometimes when I'm in my kitchen I feel like I am 'playing house.' Most of the time it doesn't bother me but I have found that kneading bread on a short counter top hurts your back! The rolls turned out great though! I've learned the trick of my oven...only cook things in the very center. Either don't put food on the edges of the pans or plan on that part of the food being burnt! So normally - I just use small pans (cooks 8 cookies at a time).

Below is our apartment building's famous shopping cart. They recently added pads around the edges which makes it look 'high class.' It actually looks like you didn't steal it from the store now!
