Le Cordón Bleu had a free cooking demonstration for the embassy. It has a full-on cooking school in Madrid. For $40,000 you can do that nine-month course.
Several of us want to go back for classes with El Guapo (the cute guy). He is the head chef for their new Spanish cooking specialty (as opposed to French or international).
I finally learned how to put a good crunchy skin on meat. Let it sit with salt for 10 minutes to get it really dry.
Here is the baby roast pig chops with a tiny salt boiled potato. It was something special from the Canary Islands with black skin because of the volcanic content of the soil.
This is black paella with garlic fluffy foam. The black comes from squid ink.
Winston fell asleep with Cuddles, and I was surprised that Cuddles was perfectly happy to cuddle. I just supposed that Winston is always holding him against his will.
I walked to a medical appointment from the embassy.
Here are more statues, buildings and this bas relief.
I finally understand what is meant by a hanging garden.
I always take pictures of old buildings so here are some new ones.
The school gives out nasty letters that advise parents that the student is not meeting the expectations of the course. We found out today that none of the boys will get those letters. That means that Wyatt can watch TV again after two months. There was rejoicing in our house and much congratulations.
