Food!

So the bunkhouse where the buckaroos stay has a kitchen and dining area. The cook, Santos, is a Mexican woman in her early 60's, and she cooks breakfast, dinner, and cookies every day.

The Kitchen.

I've only caught breakfast a few times, mostly my first week, because it's served at 6 in the morning, and I've found that I can sleep in until 6.30. By the time I come in at 6.45 everything's put away so I just have a bowl of cold cereal. There's always food out.

Generally Santos makes scrambled or easy over eggs, either bacon or sausage, and either pancakes or biscuits. There's a large walk in fridge that has a ton of milk and plenty of eggs.

For lunch the buckaroos have to pack a lunch, and I guess sometimes they never get the chance to eat it. But the office is attached to the bunkhouse so I just go over and make myself a sandwich.

Dinner largely varies. Well, half the time there's some shady looking meat that is pretty tough. When that happens I just make myself a quesadilla. It's awesome to have Santos as a cook because she makes homemade tortillas and keeps them in the fridge. Yummmm. Sometimes she makes us some Mexican food for dinner, those are always my favorite days!
