After being to myself for a four-day weekend, I found that a
part of me was definitely looking to have my roommates return! Between this weekend and now, I made chicken
parmesan (with delicious international spaghetti sauce, tried some Spanish food
made by my roommate, and conquered a homemade soup for the first time!!! 
When I say conquered, I mean that it truly was a
battle. I tackled the smallest whole
chicken Mercadona had to offer, literally, accompanied by a few leftover
feather-looking objects attached. Raw
chicken is most definitely not my forte.
I also went to four fruterias in search of kale (for my mom's soup) but had to opt out for
cabbage when I couldn’t find it. My
humongous pot was filled to the top with chicken, cabbage, leeks, carrots, and
potatoes. 
The soup ended up being really good, and I was able to share
it – amidst stories and laughter – with Becca and my roommates.
This week I also pulled out the camera on one of the only
non-rainy days to get some pictures of the kids and God’s creation on my walk
home I had been noticing lately. Although the
leaves probably have some menacing, leaf-eating creature, I quite like
them.
Tonight the plan is to hit the sack early…and figure out “my
Spanish schedule” soon!!
