LOVIN me some Spanish food! :)

Croquetas de Bacalao (delicious Cod fishballs)

PS I made these!  And by make, I may just mean I bought a frozen bag of them.

 Huevos y arroz (Eggs and rice)

The rice had a plain tomato sauce on it---very good!

 This was some sort of pork and patatas fritas (fried potatoes, aka glorifed french fries!)

 Now THIS, my friends, is a very famous Spanish dish called Migas.  This is what many people tell me about when I ask what Spanish food they recommend that I try.  It was good, but to be honest, it was just bread crumbs at the bottom of a bowl that were fried up a bit, and then some various meats and veggies on top.  I loved the slices of green peppers and chorizo.  I did not particularly love, however, the not-so-tiny sardinillas (yes, sardines...) that had straight-up WHISKERS!!  Like not just a couple, either. Like a significant amount of bigotes (whiskers).  Like more than my cat. I tried to eat it, but I could only eat one.  Sorry, Spain.  I failed. :(  I did, however, NOT fail at enjoying my personal little bottle of wine that was given to me that day at lunch! :)

 THIS dessert, made up for the whiskered fish.  It was tarta de limon (lemon pie/cake).  I wish so badly that you could taste how wonderful it was.  So good.

 My friend who owns the restaurant brought me this after the lemon tart.  An after-lunch sweet, dessert chupito (shot)?  Don't mind if I do!

This was a creamy soup with pork ribs.  Just like everything else (well, aside from the whiskered-sardines), this was wonderful.

This is the heavenly hazelnut spread that I mentioned in a previous posting that I will no longer allow myself to purchase.  It's dangerously good.
