Well, it is true what they say about Spain.....the food is delish! I guess that is why Gwyneth Paltrow and Chef Mario Batali did they tour here of food and wine. http://www.spainontheroadagain.com
Food here is so plentiful -it's everywhere! My family feeds me well, too well. Last night was my favorite meal/dinner yet! I went upstairs to the kitchen when I was called for dinner. I found what looked like a little mini grill placed on the center of the table. We all had our place settings (as usual) and there was some yummy pesto ravioli on it. Pilar (host mother) explained to me that we were going to have chicken for dinner with a Spanish cheese (along with the pasta). What you do is you cook the strips of chicken on the mini grill (on top), then underneath the mini grill is a stove top type area where you put your strips of cheese in a mini pan to let it melt. When your chicken is done (5 minutes or less) you put it on your plate and then pour your cheese on top of the chicken. It was delish! Pilar buys special Spanish cheese from the grocery store which is fabulous!
Oh, but it doesn't stop there. There is dessert! Pilar's friend just got back from the Canary Islands and brought her back some special almond filling to make this dessert with. Nancy fried up some pie crust type of thing (wish i knew the name) and then put the almond filling inside. To top it all off, you put some powdered sugar on top and you have dessert! Muy bueno!
It was a fun night of cooking and eating! I hope you like the pics of the kids, Pilar and Nancy (the housekeeper/nanny)having fun at dinner!
Adios!
