Proyectando...(Scheming)

Buenas Días Todos,

Things seem to be falling into a bit more of a rhythm, which is great for someone like myself (slightly OCD). School work seems to be more regular, but not hard and I'm adjusting to the daily schedule, however the Saturday night schedule still feels like you've just been beat over the head a few times. 

More food news!! (This is turning into a food blog). I had this amazing tapas dish mi madre served for my Sunday for lunch. It's called Gambas al Ajillo which is basically just shrimp with garlic. The dish is essentially shrimps that have been cooked in oil, spices, and water in a little bowl then topped with a sunny side-up egg on top. The hot water cooks the egg more thoroughly as you eat it and you can dip some bread in the herb, shrimp, egg broth and it is heavenly. Apparently this dish is served frequently, but usually without egg, but you can always request it "con huevo". 

The other amazing dish I ate this weekend was this spinach cheese soup which I think is called Espinacas Sorpresa but I could be wrong. I'm wrong a lot here in Spain. Anyway, this cheesy spinach goodness was to die for. 

Last but not least, we ate something I did not like, but was very interesting called Dorada al la Sal which is Dorado fish breaded in salt. I think part of the reason I did not like it was the fish broke, so it was super salty. 

So, besides food. I've been trying to hit up these rebajas (sales) before they end, but also not buy a bunch because I'll never be able to bring it home. But I did buy a purse. Whoops. 

Then Saturday night we went out again. It was very similar to the last weekend. Ended late (6:30am) and involved to many different types of sugary drinks and awkward dancing. I definitely continue to invite too much attention with this crazy "dancing" thing, but whatevs. We had some very weird stuff to drink. At this one place called Chuppitería (basically a shot house) we had this cherry shot that came with a lollypop and this carmel tip drink. Muy raro. 

Well, i think that is it for now. I would love to learn how to insert pictures, and when I do, I will put some in my older blogs. 

Also, trip booked to Paris! For Feb 5-8th. Can't wait to see Claire! I love scheming and planning all this traveling.

(Ok, I figured out how to add pictures, but not how to add them seemlessly..sorry. So yes, those are pictures of the different dishes, fish, shrimp, spinach..etc)

¡Me voy!
