Just a little note again on cross cultural living! We had a birthday party for Ashlyn last month and due to some circumstances we ended up inviting all the girls from her class to our house. (Apparently it is not impolite to only invite a few kids and doesn't hurt feelings!) Anyway, we planned to let the girls make their own pizzas. Now, in the states we would have cheese, pepperoni, and maybe hamburger or canadian bacon. I had cheese, pepperoni, olives and ham. I did cut up some onion and peppers and mushrooms for Jason and I. When the first girls began to make their pizzas they saw my "measly" offerings and asked if I had anything else. The first thing they asked for was corn. Unfortunately I didn't have any, and the girls had to settle for the toppings I had cut up for Jason and I . Anyway, I just thought it humorous that most of the girls wanted much more than plain cheese pizza.

Pizza places here offer some very unusual toppings. This week we got a flier in the mail with the newest pizza offerings. The toppings: hot dog wieners, pickles, and a few other things! Another new offering : bacon and egg pizza!
Popular toppings: corn, broccoli, tuna fish

Life is good here, Who wants just pepperoni on their pizza!!!

Corn and tuna were very popular pizza toppings in Chile, too, whatever that means.
