Good eating

With Anne's new kitchen knife from Toledo (and our new relative poverty due to Iowa's never-ending wisdom) has come a wonderful excuse to entertain ourselves by cooking me delicious food. Anyone who said that the food is bad in Spain wasn't talking about my apartment. In the last week, we've eaten:

Monday
salad - spinach with Raspberry vinaigrette, strawberries, and oranges
mostacholi with homemade spaghetti sauce cooked for hours
garlic bread
homemade rice pudding

Tuesday
Anne made some biscuits and we had a snack of biscuits and tea.
Stir-fry with broccoli, sweet peas, and low-mien

Wednesday
We had some friends over to work on a project, so Anne got to make meat for them. We had a salad with spinach, raspberry vinaigrette, toasted almonds, Roquefort cheese, and oranges
They had pork chops with mushroom gravy, I spaghetti
Then we had chocolate-walnut brownies made from scratch for dessert

Thursday
Fajitas with red peppers, onions, zucchini, TVP, and cheese.

Friday
Anne created a noodle bake with spiral noodles, peas, and a creamy broth/sauce with vegetable broth and cheese. Then she baked it with bread crumbs and our sharp special Manchego cheese on top.

Saturday
Today we cooked together and made a delicious Middle-east style curry dinner. We started with a mild yoghurt-curry sauce from the store, but we added all kinds of spices and some tomato to it to make it more delicious. We put it over cooked potatoes, peas, and broccoli and also made Basmati rice. To top it off, we toasted some flour tortillas to make a flat bread and added some bananas, just like Ahmad's in Omaha.

Sunday
Today I got hungry for a snack, but Anne outdid herself making some of the best nachos I've ever had. She used the TVP and taco seasoning that my parents brought and added red peppers, red onion, tomato, and red beans to make a taco "meat" mix. Then she put the mix, refried beans, and more onion and cheese on the corn chips. Add salsa and enjoy. Mmmm


With that, I think I'll sign off and go get another serving. Stop in for dinner if you're in the neighborhood!
