Today I was flipping through channels and watched a clip of Julie and Julia where Amy Adams's character decides to start cooking her way through Julia Child's cookbook and write a blog about it. That reminded me, "Hey I have a blog too!" "Yeah," I thought, "I should work on that." So here I am, back online. I was sort of on a fast from my computer. It was unintentional, but it felt good. No Facebook, Gmail, or Googling things for the heck of it. Instead, I have gone to work every day, loving my job and my scrubs. I have read Mr. Popper's Penguins and Handle with Care. I spent time with my family at Brazos Bend, The Battleship Texas and San Jacinto Monument. I went to Quintana beach in Galveston with my posse. I bought a new swimsuit, burned to a fiery crisp, and sloughed skin like I was a snake or cicada. And today, I made Tortilla Española with my Daddy. I bought him a Spanish cookbook years ago for Christmas and it has a really good recipe for one of the best tapas I have ever had (also the only tapa I have ever had). I made it at BYU for extra credit in my Spanish class and it didn't turn out too bad. Daddy's got the technique down better than I do, but I'm working on mine. It's not the kind of tortilla we gringos first think of, though. It's made with potatoes, onions, and eggs. It looks kind of like a huge omelet. We also added green chilies to one and bacon bits to the other. Mmmmm these are really tasty! Muy rico :) So here's my small attempt at blogging about my cooking endeavors. TTFN
