Today marked a couple new milestones in my Spain experience.
First, I attempted to make some Pollo Loco! This is my favorite Mexican dish in the
states, and it’s delicious. I wanted to attempt
it, but the more I looked for the ingredients in the city today, the less
resolve I had. After rounding up most of
the ingredients though, I managed the Spanish rice, grilled chicken, and
toasted tortillas.
The “loco” part though, my melted queso dip, did not
cooperate – despite the double broiler effect.
I have an inside source that told me another type of Spanish cheese
might work better to melt, not disintegrate.
Gross.
I wonder why the man in Mercadona looked at me strangely
when I asked about Monterrey, Asadero, or American cheese? Ha J Using my Spanish vocab, I told him I needed a
cheese to use for cooking with milk to make a smooth, cheesy salsa. He was kind of wondering out I believe. I hope I made his night! J
Second, Becca accompanied me to a Spanish school where I
took a level test, after which my brain was so fried!! I am officially starting tutoring tomorrow
though! Between one-and-a-half hours a
day in full Spanish mode, plus moving into a Spanish-speaking apartment,
hopefully I will gain much more language capacity. Put the kiddos on top of that, and I think I
will be sleeping soundly, maybe even adding a nap.
It’s going to be a busy month, but I am excited
for the growth that is bound to come.
