I like gallo pinto, a Costa Rican dish of scrambled eggs served with rice and beans. It’s presented with fresh fruit, usually papaya, pineapple, mango and banana.
We did not elect Barack Obama based on the color of skin, but based on the content of his character. How proud do you think Dr. King would have felt right about now?

I’ve been married a long time, and I’m just starting to scratch the surface of what women really want. I don’t know, but the answer probably lies somewhere between chocolate and conversation.
Quotation from Mel Gibson
What use are cartridges in battle? I always carry chocolate instead.
Quotation from George Bernard Shaw
Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control – and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart – not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
Quotation from President Barack Obama’s Inaugural Address
Eat termites? I’m sorry, these latest comics are just making me even more convinced that I never want to visit Central America.
I’ll pass on the Termites … they might eat me from the inside out. I’ll go for the bananas though. Here is hoping that your new President can deliver on the promises.
Yes, I have to agree that I have not the conditioning to eat termites. Crow says they’re delicious with a smattering of fire ants. I’m not convinced and will be moving to a split level igloo shortly.
do you swoosh them termites down with a beer?
That first image? Um? What is it?
I believe it is a Costa Rican pig – Dolce
What PART of a Costa Rican pig? >_<
it’s actually a bat, not a pig, in a jar.
Not even if the termites were covered in chocolate…
And I love that quotation from Obama’s speech. Although what part of it wasn’t quotable?
It’s ok for me that not everything is chocolate flavoured. I can also deal with raspberry, vanilla or banana flavour quite easily. Only termite flavour I’m not so sure about.
Happy New President Day everyone!
Not everything is chocolate flavored or honey sweet but it’s a treat to read all about your Costa Rica holiday. Sounds as if was not only filled with high drama but was an equally interesting culture experience staying and exploring at ecologically friendly places. Like the quotes. now Termites and bananas dont usualy mix well but I undestand you can eat the termites in the Jungle ?
Best wishes
… a bat? I’ll be darned. Maybe pigs are actually bats without sonar and wings
You are so right, the color of the skin of Obama is something good, but better than that are his ideas…
he is fantastic
a kiss friend!
I’m Filipino – so I eat just about anything. I’ve eaten pig blood meat, for God’s sake… but even I won’t touch termites.
The gallo pinto sounds delicious though.
Welcome home!
Seraphine: I’ll pass on the termites, but I’ll take a banana and then you an score me some cool Converse gym shoes for me!

I got sick of it after a few weeks but it is a nice brunch. Plus the name sounds cool.
That’s like Bear Grylls eating grubs. GROSS. And what’s the first picture of? Kind of looks like a deformed pig. Yes?
So you did try Galo Pinto! How amazing!
