As I have alluded to, but not directly explained, I now live with three Uruguayan girls in an apartment in a neighborhood called Punta Carretas. The neighborhood is known mostly for its mall, known in Spanish as Punta Carretas Shopping. Two of the girls study architecture. One works at a travel agent. We live as three strangers sharing a bathroom and kitchen. I am out to change this. I try to play up my ignorance so I can ask questions about language, house protocol; whatever seems likely to start a conversation. Recently I made black bean brownies.
The girls were definitely dubious of what I was doing. Silently, of course. Mid-black bean smashing, I offered a taste of the finished product. They both smirked and didn’t seem likely to take me up on it. The morning after however, when the brownies were chilled, I more or less forced Silviana to try…and well, she asked me for the recipe.
