- When you see a mountain of lentils soaking in a tub in the kitchen, be afraid. Be very afraid. You are looking at all of your dinners for the next foreseeable future.
- Your greatest fears will come true the next day, when your host mother serves you the biggest bowl of lentil soup you have ever seen.
- You will not be able to finish all of the lentils.
- You will not be able to explain to your host family why you are unable to finish all of the lentils.
- You will attempt to leave your bowl in a strategic location for the cats to finish off. This is wishful thinking. Not even the cats will touch that.
- Take these steps and repeat once approximately every two weeks. This is your life in Chile.
