Costa Rica breakfast dinner

We decided to make a meal from Costa Rica. When we pulled up the Wikipedia entry for Costa Rican cuisine, the photo showed a typical Costa Rican breakfast. Who doesn't like having breakfast for dinner? Certainly we like it. So we made the following meal:

poached eggs,
toast,
gallo pinto,
fried plantains,
and to drink, one of M's favorites, Mighty Mango Naked Juice.

Hi. I liked the brinner, which is, yes, breakfast for dinner. Here is some other awesome naked juices:
Blue,green and red machine
Berry blast

Those are just some. You can find lots at Cub and Target. Some are at DBC.

Gallo pinto, which means spotted rooster, is black beans and rice, which are cooked separately and then pan fried together. It is often served with Lizano salsa but, as we couldn't find any at our local grocery stores, we had HP sauce with our gallo pinto.

I had never had plantains. I liked the taste, not as sweet and firmer than regular bananas.

It was an easy and yummy Friday night dinner.
