For sure!! Southern Chile is especially beautiful although I've just barely scratched the surface. I hope to visit Patagonia, Easter Island, and the Atacama Desert within the next year. Oh dear, don't even get me started on restaurant recommendations! lol. There's a ton of places I could suggest. If you haven't tried Ethiopian food yet and are in the mood for something different, check out this place called Merkato in Little Ethiopia (off Fairfax). I'm just salivating thinking about their veggie combo platter! Anyway, I think it's awesome that you're trying to cook more from home... it's definitely better for your health (and your purse)! Cooking delicious plant-based foods is one of my biggest passions so if you ever want some tasty recipes to try just give me a shout and I'll send some your way. Also, Pinterest will be your best friend for that sort of thing.

That's so sweet of you to look after strays like that!! I sincerely hope you were able to catch the stray cat you mentioned. Unfortunately, there's a ton of stray animals in Chile (dogs, especially) and I run into them every single day. My boyfriend and I just had a stray momma cat and her kitten in our backyard a couple of days ago and I cooked some food for them. If I could rescue them all, I would! Keep up the great work, and I'll see ya around here! :-D Thanks, and good night to you, too!
