Don't eat me....

I'm suuuppper sorry I haven't posted in almost 2 weeks!  Yes, I'm still alive.  And yes, I'm okay.  It's not like me to go this long between post, I know.  But, I've been really tied up with scheduling my classes for next year, and with studying or final exams for the end of this trimester.  ButI finally have a free weekend now, because the last exams were today.  I have freetime...

...Freetime?  What's this... freetime you speak of?

I'm serious.  It's been so long since I've had no obligations, nothing to do.  Nothing to have on my shoulders.  I don't even know what to do!

Today was fun though.  I was home from school early because of the testing, and my mom and I tried to make a Northern Spanish dish my great grandma, who was Spanish, always made, and my grandpa always ate it.  Well, I hope they had a good laugh looking down at my mom and me from heaven today, I truly do.  Because when they made it, it looked pretty.  It's called Tortilla de Patata, and it's basically potatoes, egg, and onion.  Ours tasted good, but it was not pretty.  It stuck to the pan, and fell apart because we didn't use enough egg.  We had such a hard time just slicing the potatoes, too.  The first two came out too thin, and I ended up just putting olive oil and salt on them and popping them in the oven to be potato chips, since they were beyond use for the tortilla.  A half and hour project turned into two hours for us.  (But how it tasted made up for everything.)

  1. I'm glad to hear you're still alive, and the dish you and your Mum made sounds great :)

  2. Haha glad you have free time now! :) And hey, the taste is more important than the look, right? Don't judge a book by its cover... or in fact a dish by its appearance!
