We have arrived

Jose and I  arrived in Michigan after basically 24 hours of travel about a week ago. Yay! We had no real issues with our flights besides one 2 hour delay (typical). We even sighted some famous people on our trip (like the president of the F.C. Sevilla and famous Latin American author Mario Vargas Llosa). My one big complaint was being on a nine hour flight and not having my own personal t.v. in the seat in front of me. I know that sounds really bratty but believe me, it makes that long trip over the ocean go by much faster. On this particular flight there was only one film shown and my sound didn't even work for that so it ended up being LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Love lake life
In the past week we have been inundated with family visits at the house on the lake. First my sisters and then my adorable niece who has been staying with my parents as well for the last few days. She is a completely different baby from the last time we saw her. Now she is walking and talking. She is obsessed with clocks. OBSESSED! You don't realize how many clocks there really are in the world until she points them out for you. Like the other day we were looking at boxes of food and she started saying clock, clock, clock. She was right, there was an itty bitty one on the side of a rice box. Some times when she says it, the word sounds a bit like some other naughtier word but it is still adorable.
Bedhead

We have been soaking up life on the lake, swimming, eating barbecue and spending time with my aunts and cousin who also came for a visit. So far it has been an incredibly relaxing but really nice visit. Tomorrow we are headed back to Grand Rapids to spend a few days there with my sister and her husband (and the baby). I will be sure to post about it afterwards.

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

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

Spanish names

Image
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
