Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, it's a twister! It's a twister!

Here in the south of Spain (and actually throughout the majority of the peninsula) we are being hit by some type of weather pattern called cyclogenesis (which I had never heard of until now). According to wikipedia cyclogenesis is the development or strengthening of cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere (a low pressure area). Translation: bad ass storm. What this means in real life is that we have a ridiculous amount of wind and rain. It started last night and has been blowing all day. There are a lot of downed trees and I keep waiting to lose power. Looking out the window reminds me of Jurassic Park  when the fat guy from Seinfeld tries to get away with the stolen embryos and is eaten by the spitting dinosaur.

Jose went to the new apartment this morning since we had someone coming to clean and buff the marble floors. He braved the terrible weather to get there early. When he arrived he found the floors covered in water. Apparently the rain was blowing in sheets against the windows and got in between the seals. It then filled the window casing until it overflowed down the walls and onto the floors. Not a fun thing. Jose mopped up the best he could and we went back later this afternoon to check the damage. So far it doesn't look that bad. I sort of freaked out when Jose called to say what had happened but it seems to have dried well. Only time will tell. Now we need to call the company who installed the windows to find out what the heck happened. Thank goodness they are under warranty!

La mesa camilla

Image
The mesa camilla is a very Spanish invention (in fact I believe it to be a very southernly Spanish invention). It consists of a table, a heater and a heavy, long tablecloth-like fabric that drapes over the sides. The idea is that you put the heater under the table and when you sit down you put the fabric over you like a blanket. The truth is that it does keep you quite warm. The downside is that once you get up and move, you lose the heat. Since the houses and apartments here in the south of Spain are not created for the cold (no central heating) a mesa camilla can be found almost every where.  We didn't have one last year and survived with blankets, space heaters and flannel pajamas throughout the winter. This year Jose decided we needed to get a mesa camilla. I fought the good fight (since often times they look very similar to the option in the picture above) but we ended up ordering one not too long ago.  Typically the mesa camilla is made of wood and can be stored throu

Simple Spanish recipe: Chipirones a la plancha

Image
Ok so I know this picture is a bit blurry and I apologize but it is the final result of my having cooked chipirones a la plancha for the first time. Let me explain, chipirones are small squid and a la plancha means grilled. They are served in an olive oil, parsley and garlic sauce. At first I wasn't sold on the idea of this recipe but believe me, it is pretty awesome and super healthy. It is a really typical tapa that you can order at almost any bar here in the south of Spain. Chipirones a la plancha is usually served on a bed of lettuce or with a small side salad. Yum! Here's the how: First you need the chipirones (small squid that come with the heads and tentacles attached). I can buy them at my local grocery store in the fresh seafood section. I bought a package of 400 grams though the good thing about this recipe is that you can make as much or as little as you like. Allow me to also explain that here in Spain people tend to eat a lot more fish and seafood than

Spanish names

Maaaaaaaria, I just met a girl named Maria Hopefully you just read that and sang the song from West Side Story in your head. Let's just say that from what I have experienced here in Spain, people really, really like this name. In fact, there are times when it seems like EVERY woman or girl is named Maria (or Maria de/l something) and though they might go by the second part of their name, their given one is still Maria. People definitely opt for traditional names here, unlike the US where names go through trends.  Recently a friend on Facebook posted a link which contained a GIF  (originally from The Atlantic)  showing the different female names that had been popular in the US since 1960. It is interesting to see how a name like Jennifer would be popular in one region and then would sweep the nation. Such a map would not be as cool here in Spain since not a whole lot would change. Maria. Maria del Carmen. Miriam. Marian. Mirian. Variations on a theme. Religious names I
