Thanksgiving can be December 1st right?

Welp, it was for me! Traditionally speaking at least.

My friends and I went out to a food tasting along with a dinner... Well, I guess you can call it a narrated 6 course meal... if you wanted to.

There were six of us, A, K, M, S and KT. (K2... yeah whatever, using initials is hard.)

So anyway, we're all sitting down waiting for everything to start, come to find out, everyone in this small little, 16 person restaurant speaks English as a common language, and only my group and one lady from another spoke Spanish.

The man (cool Spanish grandpa) is narrating everything twice, once in English for the group, and then came to our table personally to narrate in Spanish for us. It was really great because we learned new words and everything with the translations.

Highlights from the evening:

Four wines, two of which were sherry's. The aren't my favorite, but hey they're good.
Three olive oils.
Lots of olives.
Orange, fish, onion things that were AMAZING.
Some soup that tasted like jamón.
(lots of jamón... my faaave.)
Fish things in this safron sauce. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. DELISH!
Cheese platter with fig sauce. Have you ever had goat cheese and fig marmalade? Holy balls, it's fantastic. (bringing some home)
Turrón, which is this amazing desert that I'm pretty sure is exclusive to Andalucia, (the province I'm in.) but I could be wrong.


Everything was soooo good! We were all SOOOO full by the end of everything, then it dawned on me that we were going to watch a game after. IT WAS THANKSGIVING! :)
We were all a little "en rosada", when your face gets a little pink/red from drinking, and full, so it was a great feeling. (how thanksgiving should be.) Then we went to go watch the Madrid game, and I got to see my future husband... Casillas. :) AH he's so handsome.


So that was my thanksgiving. I spent it with some great friends, we ate some great food, had some great wine, drank some great beer whist watching a game in a bar. It was really great. One of the best nights in Spain thus far.

I'm happy to be ending all of this on a high note.


P.S. I'm heading to Italy on Tuesday. :))

That's gonna be a long blog post, soooo hold on to your undies.
