class today went well. i don't think i missed out on too much by missing class on friday. tomorrow and wednesday are my final exams. tomorrow i have my final in my conversation class. i'm not too worried about it. but i do need to review my vocabulary. there are soooo many new words! after class i went shopping for gifts. i would say that i am about 90% done. woo hoo! i just hope that everything will fit in my suitcases (fingers crossed)
for lunch we had soup, meat, salad, and melon for dessert. i don't think i've had the type of meat we had before.. if so my senora must have flavored it differently. it was still good nonetheless. after lunch i took my siesta.
tonight we had our cooking class. there were about 15 of us and we went to a super cute restaurant and one of their chefs taught us how to make sangria, paella, tortilla, and gazpacho. we will all be getting the recipes tomorrow. sangria is probably on of the most popular drinks if not the most popular. there are so many different ways to make it, but i really liked the recipe we had today. you can basically add any fruit to it except bananas, pineapple, and kiwis because they don't absorb the alcohol. you add a bottle of red wine, some rum if you'd like and sugar. it's delicious. i don't really like paella because i don't like shrimp. once i pick all the shrimp out i'm left with rice.. it's not my favorite... speaking of favorites.. i LOVE spanish tortilla and didn't realize how easy it was to make! slice up a potato, add some eggs. cook it on the stove and viola! i will definitely be making that once i return home. i definitely do not like gazpacho. gazpacho is a cold soup. it is made by blending water, bread, garlic, and tomatoes. it is put through a colander... add some ice and you have gazpacho. if you love tomatoes this is the dish for you! not so much for me.. but i did try it.
after cooking class i walked around with a friend for awhile. and then i came back home. i need to shower and start studying. dinner should be ready in about 30-45 minutes. i saw my senora snapping fresh green beans earlier today so i imagine we will have some. i'm sure it will be delicious.
until tomorrow!
