Sink water is not considered safe to drink here, so I often purchase bottled water or use the water filter that I have in my home.
While I have had the opportunity to explore many different restaurantsnsince arriving in Goa, my favorite meals this week have been the ones that my friend has cooked for me. Moving to a new place by myself, every single decision is totally on me. So even the most basic decisions like deciding what to eat can take a lot of mental energy. It doesn't help that I'm not the best cook in the world, so the meals that I have been making are extremely basic! My friend has made tomato soup and grilled cheese, pasta, eggs and hummus platters that feel decadent because she is a much better cook than I and is remarkable at turning simple meals into tasty delights. So it is a gift to have food made for you with love!If I have to have a "real" answer to this, I am really enjoying having pork pie!
Whenever I have spent time away from home, I have found that music is a major point for bringing me back to home. I will listen to my favorite songs in order to feel a sense of normalcy, and lately I've been listening to a lot of Blood Orange, The Cranberries and Maggie Rogers. Goa has a big jazz scene that I hope to explore in the coming months.
