Blog: where the wild things are - 31 May 2009

By: kate

Today we made lunch, (biggest meal of á typical Spanish day.. six courses ohman,) for Carlos´s parents and 3 of his friends.. and us of course. There were 9 people, so you can imagine Louie, Carlos, Victoria and I have been up since 9am cooking. It was alot of fun though. Sorry to keep it short but pictures are better, and I´m in a rush because Carlos and Louie are going to eat my dinner, lol.- Anyway, here are some photos of the country side, the mountains and Carlos´s house there. oh ps.. did anyone know that its quite common for European households to have a permanently-placed spit, (of some sort,)in their kitchen, to hold an entire leg of Procuitto.. its crazy. Theres a HUGE isle in every grocery store dedicated to gigantic legs of procuitto, which are hanging absolutely everywhere. pps i still can´t find the question mark key on this Spanish keyboard


















Also, Mac, as specifically requested, a pic of some ¨cool shit in Spain¨. This ones for you: ´(obviously,) its a bottle of Grand Reserva 904, Rioja from 1995- and we had a couple of them today. It was delicious and I thought of you when I was drinking it.
