Pollo de balsamico

I've been living in the house of my IEC for almost two weeks now, and since I'm moving to my new hostfamily on monday I thought it would be nice to cook her family a dinner. So I went to the supermarket, then the butcher, and the fruitstore to buy all of the ingredients (which took me a while, even though Bea helped me, as I haven't really gotten to know the shops in Nicoya that well yet. Eventually I had bought all I needed and went back to the house to start cooking. After a while I realized that I didn't understand how to put on the oven, and Lorenas phone was uncharged so I just had to wait for her to come home. When she came home she learned that it was out of gas so she said that the best thing to do was to wait for Juan Pablo to come home. It was just that at 9:30 he still wasn't home and we couldn't reach him at his cellphone. But at that time, Lorena decided to go out to buy new gas herself instead of waiting for him so by 10 I could start cooking again. Usually the dish I cooked - chicken with balsamico and a lot of other stuff- takes 40 minutes in the oven, but here the potatoes are different, so the dinner was ready at 11:30. Haha by then the chicken was dry, Anna was asleep, and we were all so tired that we barely had the energy to eat. But it was nice, and I think that even though it probably wasn't the best meal they had ever had, they appreciated that I did this to thank them. I'm going to miss this family when I move to my new hostfamily. Luckily I will see them often as Lorena is my IEC, and as Anna goes to the same class as me. Tomorrow I'm going to help my new hostfamily to get my room ready, even though it means I have to get up early, I'm really excited.
