The first Spanish food I recreated once I got home, rested enough, and generally was able to get my bearings, was the patatas bravas. It was also incidentally the first Spanish meal I had in Madrid, and coincidentally the easiest to replicate. Patatas Bravas are, of course, in a word, delicious. Fried potatoes smothered in slightly spicy paprika sauce/gravy... what’s not to like?! However, mine didn't exactly live up to its authentic counterpart below, from La Casa del Abuelo. My ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #488
Greetings from Madrid, Fiesta Friday friends! I've been here for almost a week now. I think I've managed to stroll through all the barrios (neighborhoods) in the city! Just kidding! But I swear I’ve never walked so much in my life! So. The breaking news of the day is… the Spanish pilot union is on strike! That, coupled with the wildfire smoke engulfing the Northeast region, is concerning. I hope I won’t get stranded at the airport which would be the worst ending to an otherwise wonderful ... continue reading...

Check out this newly planted foxglove. Isn't it pretty? Btw, I took that picture with my new iPhone, and it's unedited. Looks pretty good, doesn't it?! Maybe I won't need to travel with my camera in tow?? I'm not sure... would be nice to not have to lug it around. We'll see... Anyway, let's get on with the ... continue reading...
Fiesta Friday #485
The end of the school year is fast approaching, but somehow things just keep getting busier for me. Preparations for upcoming travel plans become front and center in my daily routine. It'll be the first time in 3 years that I travel by plane, or have a need for a passport. Gosh, I definitely feel a little apprehensive! I seem to have forgotten how to pack a suitcase, or what to bring on a long trip! I also definitely need a new smartphone and/or a new iPad. How am I going to entertain myself ... continue reading...
