Summer festivals in el pueblo

2012-09-09T11:05:00.001-07:00

Almost every Spanish town, which can be as small as 300 inhabitants, has a summer festival, usually comprised of:

Outside music/dancing/concert
Food
Games
And bulls. Bulls!

Take a look at the pics. One shows you two houses with their doors halfway boarded up with a metal-looking gate which is to protect the houses while the bulls run by.

Teruel ceramics

2012-09-09T09:34:00.001-07:00

The green and white design on this ceramic set is typical from Teruel, a provincial capital the province of Aragon.

If you notice, this set has "miguel angel" and "conchita" on it. This was part of a wedding gift to the bride and groom on their wedding day. It's also common for the couple to give small ceramic pieces with their names and wedding/communion/etc date as favors to their guests.

Bad marketing for pastry?

Arroz a banda

2012-06-04T12:16:00.000-07:00

My first attempt at "arroz a banda"

Region: Spain, Valencia
Category: Rice, Couscous, and Other Grains
Difficulty: Labor Intensive

Arròs a banda is a very old preparation from Valencia. As with so many dishes, it begins with a sofregit, like the Italian soffritto, a mixture of onions, garlic, and other ingredients sautéed in olive oil before the addition of the remaining ingredients; in this case, a rich fish broth is added to be absorbed by the rice. A banda means “apart” in Valencian, meaning the rice is served first and apart from the fish, which is served as a second course. It is traditionally served with allioli, a pungent garlic mayonnaise.

Toyota-ing in Spain

2012-05-01T12:10:00.000-07:00

What treatment for a somewhat-used car! Love the cover, although of course that stays with the dealer. I convinced the dealer to include a bottle of wine from the region so as to baptize my new baby (Toyota Yaris)....named "Yago" which is "Diego" in Galician dialect.

Happy Pavo Day

2011-11-25T11:22:00.001-08:00

I just realized it might be interesting for you to understand how much work goes into preparing Thanksgiving here in Spain....

Context that is necessary for you to know:
1. I don´t have a car
2. I tend to celebrate on Saturdays (tomorrow) because nobody has Thursday off
3. Tomorrow we will celebrate at my friend´s house because he has more chairs / space. So i need to cook the damn turkey there...

The story begins about 2 weeks ago, when I had to start investigating where I could purchase all the ingredients that tend to be more difficult to get a hold of...turkey, yams, french green beans, fried onions (for the green bean casserole), etc.

A week ago, I talked to the butcher down the street and ordered a 5 kilo (11 lb. turkey) that he specially ordered for me....of course, this implied quite a bit of chit chat, platonic yet necessary flirting, etc.

Today I called him up and he did in fact have the turkey, so I went to go pick it up. He got me a 6 kilo turkey (13 lbs instead of the 11 lbs I asked). Bastard. That´s like an hour extra of cooking!!! Now I will need to get up really early in the morning!!!

I went home right away, lugging my 13 lb turkey in a plastic bag up to my home, a half a block away. Go up the stairs, wait for the elevator, open the door, leave the turkey in the kitchen. Leave home again and off to the market to buy all the veggies. I go to a nice market with a whole bunch of grocers inside it, where I´m sure I´ll have luck.

Hi, do you have yams? No?
Ok what about sweet potatoes? Ahhh yes? Oh noooo those are too small.
Next.
Hi, do you have yams? No? What about big sweet potatoes? No? Ok thanks
Next, etc.

I get all my veggies and now I´m off to find brandy because I want to inject my turkey with brandy, and the stuffing inside with plums . But somehow I have to inject the brandy.

I go to a hardware store.

Uhhh. Hi...do you have a really big needle for injecting a turkey?
Yeah, a turkey. No? Yeah, seriously. A turkey.
OK do you know where?..
Next hardware store, no luck.

I go to a pharmacy and finally buy a normal human being needle after the pharmacist gives me a few ideas of how to make sure it´ll work (keep the turkey at room temperature and warm up the brandy before filling up the needle). It´s gonna take me a while to inject this sucker.

Now the brandy. I go to a nearby bar where they also sell liquor. Of course, all the locals are there getting drunk at 8pm. Soon I´m friends with all the old men who are all recommending which brandy to buy and start arguing about the difference between cognac and brandy.

After purchasing in all these different places, I pretty much have all the ingredients, and I´m walking with about 5 plastic grocery bags back home.

So yeah, I´d say the work going into preparing thanksgiving is a BIT more involved than in the US. It´s not like just going to Safeway and it´s all taken care of. And for sure tomorrow I´ll find out I don´t have all the ingredients and I´ll make up something last minute. But that´s ok. I´ll be drinking wine so whatever idea I have will be EXCELLENT.

Crisis drives the monarchy away?

2011-11-21T13:36:00.000-08:00

I love this photo that someone sent to me in an email saying "has it really come down to this?!?!".

The king, queen, and prince´s faces are photoshopped onto the photo - them fleeing the country...

Today, Spain´s presidential elections have finalized with PP (Partido Popular) winning the rat race and also gaining majority in the congress, which is a huge change since the past few years have been principally ruled by the opposing party.

Given that the country has 21% unemployment and doesn´t see the "crisis" getting much better in the near term, the public is obviously quite upset with the recent political party (please allow me this generalization) and many people don´t feel they can trust the system --- whether that be the political candidates, the bankers, etc.

Here´s a great picture that someone sent on to me that seems to sum it all up in one.

For those of you who don´t ready Spanish. This is a photo of a street garbage bin. The title of the poster (just like the sarcastic motivational posters we have) says "Electoral urinals" and the vandalism on the bin says

"vote here, it´s all the same / it doesn´t matter"

Real Madrid v Lyon in the Champions League

2011-11-01T07:35:00.000-07:00

Seeing sports events in box seats is truly a priceless experience. I was so lucky to be invited to our box seats at the Bernabeu stadium with my colleagues and I practically cried once I saw the box seat and the huge stadium right in front of our eyes. Thank god the waitress came and asked me what to drink because I was falling in love...

The best part of the game --- when Sergio Ramos completed the goal (last score of the game) from a Kaká corner....right in front of us!!!

Back in "Espain"

2011-03-13T11:50:00.001-07:00

Aaaah you have to love the Southern European culture. Loud conversations so that everyone else can hear one another and compete for the loudest voice, a disorganization that somehow flows and works because everyone expects it, coffees are recognized as higher priority than anything else (thank god for that)...

Being in London was fun, although I felt reminiscent of my own culture and yet somehow felt as though I am half Spanish now...somehow I am in both cultures and I'm not sure how to rectify that. Or if it should be rectified. In any case, I'm now home in Madrid and the sun is out / it almost seems as though spring is here! I'm happy to be back home where beer and food isn't expensive, where the weather is pleasant, and the people are curious about your wellbeing!

UK train v Spain train experience

2011-03-05T04:11:00.000-08:00

My first few minutes at Heathrow airport and I'm already in culture shock...

1. Silence in a full room! Odd!
Nobody yelling? In fact the Spaniards and Italians stick out like a sore thumb due to their bountiful voices

2. The guy on the intercom was so nice as to announce someone lost their ticket

3. Sitting down on the train, everyone sits by the window so as to allow others to sit by them

(In Spain since everyone prefers the aisle, they always sit down at the aisle and make everyone else jimmy into a window seat. I've even noticed this at the movie theaters)
