La nieva y, como siempre, más comida...

So this morning I actually had breakfast. No, I mean, normally I have breakfast, but its this type of Spanish corn flakes and strangely flavored yogurt. Today, since it is the weekend, my parents cooked Leah and I pan tostado con tomates (literally translated: toast with tomatoes) which is bread toasted on this strange grill pan they put on the stove and then drizzled heavily in olive oil and topped with extremely a sauce made of finely chopped tomatoes with salt and a variety of other things (hand-made by my madre!). It is extremely delicious. See below (disclaimer: this is from google images and not my actual breakfast).


In other food news: My friends and I have just discovered a Chinese tapas place that give you literally an entire plate of noodles, fried rice, or egg rolls as the free appetizer you receive with every drink. So delicious! Another note: few Spanish people actually like Chinese food and this bar is usually filled with British and French people.

Something even rarer than Chinese people in Spain: SNOW. And it snowed yesterday!! I mean, not very long and it didn't stick, but there were legitimate, large snowflakes falling from the sky yesterday evening. IN SOUTHERN SPAIN. It's the apocalypse. But at least I didn't wake up this morning having my backyard look like this:


... which is what all my friends back at school in Philly continually get to wake up. I love Haverford a lot a lot, but I am SO GLAD I missed the multiple blizzards the have sadly befallen the entire east coast. So even though it snowed in Spain, it's still Amanda: 1, Haverford: 0 (degrees Celsius, hahaha).
