Daily Drena: Out of our food comfort zone
We had the Andalucian breakfast at our B&B again this morning, and traded four more breakfasts in for a dinner here. Being the picky eaters we are, we were worried about what might arrive on our plates, but knew we had enough food stashed for back up, just in case.
Maria served us a private 5-course meal, with small bites, tomato sopa, ensalada, the main course of rice/meatballs with a mushroom sauce, and some delicious vanilla custard. It was a fun treat and we went back to our room very full. I’ve never seen Drew eat the things he did. Granted, he held his nose as he swallowed stuff with a gallon of water, but by gosh he ate it. Considering what could have been served, it was all actually pretty normal and the tomato soup was fantastic. However for me, I can’t do olives under any circumstances, I’m not a fan of tomatoes, and the huge quantity of mushrooms were just too slimy, and the hold-your-nose technique doesn’t fix texture. She now thinks I’m the picky eater between the two of us, which is funny.
In other news, Drew decided to change his name to Diego while in Spain. People really have a hard time with his name. I guess those letters are very unusual together in Spanish.
