These are a few of my favorite...foods?

Hello all! It's getting down to the end of my study abroad experience (sad :-( sniff sniff) and therefore I have to catch up on my blogging about my life!! Prepare for a wave of posts people. It'll be epic.

Monday Nov. 15th we went to a restaurant in Barrio Gótico called "Cook and Taste" in which a chef teaches you how to make typical spanish foods! Needless to say, I was the first in line for this event. Our menu was ambitious: Gazpacho, Tortilla Española, Paella, and Crema Catalana all in just a few short hours, but we managed, with the help of our skilled chef, to get it all done in a delicious fashion.

The cool part about the meal was that we all got to help make the food we were eating. I helped make the Crema Catalana and Pan con Tomate (which I think I may have over garliqued but oh well haha) and got to watch all of the Trinity kids pitch in to make a truly delicious meal. I don't think I've eaten that much in a long time, and it was quite fantastic. We had Valencian Paella (just veggies and chicken) which was amazing and the tortilla, although a little undercooked for my liking, was still extremely delicious.

Needless to say we had a pretty good time and all left there with our belts a few notches looser....

Good food and wine had by all! Nothing better than a great meal with a great group of people :)
