Something Yummy....

Yay for food!!!!!  I love the food we have here in Spain!!  So far I have had normal things like french fries (patatas fritas), and hambugers; things that are basic Spanish food like tortilla espanola, paella, tortilla francesa and patatas and meat; and also some things that are not so normal...well, for me at least.  For example today we had fideua con pulpo (see below something like what I had) which is basically a special type of noodle with octopus....and it was actually quite delicious!!!  :)  I have learned to just try everything, even the things like cucumbers cut in half and meat and cheese stacked on top.  Interesting for sure, and not all that terrible.  I think the main thing in another country is to just to try it and try to keep a very, very open mind about all the food that you encounter.  It will be different, no matter how much you try.  (There is a store that sells Ben and Jerry's ice cream if I ever get very desperate for a taste of home though!)
