Day 4: I want to try to write this in Spanish so I can get better. I'll translate at the end.
Hoy mi clase de espanol y yo fuimos a un scavenger hunt en la ciudad. Al fin, fuimos a un mercado se llama La Boqueria. Tuvieron la fruta, las verduras, el carne, el jamon, las dulces, el chocolate y muchas mas. My amiga y yo compramos jugo que es fresca que cuesta .50 euro. Solo tiene fruta y hay muchos tipos.
Today my Spanish class went on a scavenger hunt in the city. At the end we went to this market called "La Boqueria." They have fruit, vegetables, meat, ham, candy, chocolate, and more. My friend and I bought this fresh fruit juice that was 2 for 1 Euro! Its ONLY made of blended fruit and they had every flavor imaginable.
I got kiwi pineapple and my friend Maddy got papaya mango. THEY WERE SO DELICIOUS. and only .50 euro??! That's amazing. This might be one of my new favorite things in Barcelona. Here were some of the other freshly-made, mouth-watering flavors: strawberry, mixed berry, mango, kiwi coconut, papaya, strawberry banana, blueberry, and any combination in between. I hope you're salivating as much as I am just thinking about it. DELICIOSO!
Speaking of delicioso, last night my senora made a traditional Catalan meal. Before you gag at the eclectic combination of ingredients, hear me out. So it was a plate of white rice, topped with a smooth, red, tomato sauce (imagine marinara minus the chunks). On top of THAT was an egg prepared over easy, crispy around the edges with a runny yolk. To complete the randomness was a hot dog on the side of the plate to cut up. You're supposed to chop it all up and mix it together so it sort of ends up looking like spicy chicken fried rice but with hot dog mixed in. Surprisingly, it was actually really scrumptious.
I found this picture on the internet. It looked really similar to this,
but with red sauce underneath. Its called "arroz cubana."
All for now! Bon apetit!
YUM!
ReplyDeletedid you take the pictures of the market and the juices? they look lovely. also i worked really hard trying to read the spanish but then i realized you had translated it right underneath. ha ha.
ReplyDeletehahah aww im sorry! no i wish i had taken those. i forgot my camera so i found some pictures on the internet to give people a visual but next time i go ill remember to take lots of pictures. its SO COOL!
ReplyDeleteMAYBE it's cause i am really hungry, MAYBE it's cause the three boxes of food in my pantry didn't hit the spot this morning, or MAYBE it's cause i love hot dogs, but i think it looks perfectly edible and somewhat tantalizing to the tastebuds.
