potatas a la importancia

{i have been back in the kitchen. and it feels great. i made yet, another one of chris's favorites. it was a little tricky deep frying the potatos in olive oil but i managed. cooking is really a wonderful experience. }

A Little More From Spain

our weekends have started to evolve around cooking. and we don't mind it at all. chris loves having spainish food in our home. it has reminded him how much he misses spain. our house is filled with aromas that we are not used to and it truly is wonderful. this weekend we made our version of sangria which is a spainsh punch (but we x the alcohol). along with that we made huevos a la flamenca (baked eggs) and one of chris's favorite tapas, empanads de atun (tuna empanadas). again we lost ourselves in the kitchen and i have to say it was a bit romantic.

Just a Touch of Spain

we decided to tackle this cook book (which is fabulous) and make a couple of husbands favorite spanish dishes. we had so much fun slaving in the kitchen. we lost track of time and enjoyed the experience. here is the seafood paella (jamon, squid, mussels, halibut & prawns) and tortilla de potata that we made. i had to show the mess afterwards becuase it took us a couple of days to clean it all up. seriously.
