Rebecca's Birthday

After we got back from Almendralejo today, Marissa and I got in touch with our friend, Rebecca, because today is her birthday!  We went out with Rebecca and her roommate, Masha, to get some tapas and drinks.  I know how y’all love to read about the food here, so this is what we ordered and ate.  We had longastinas (giant shrimp slathered in garlic), croquetas caseras (which you may remember from last week; these ones were of jamón), bacalao dorado (shredded fish with potato and onion, I think; SO GOOD!!), and lomo de cerdo con patatas (pork loin in this awesome bleu cheese sauce with steak fries).







Afterwards we went back to our flat to eat my attempt at making Chocolate Mousse pie here.  Let’s just say that I tried really hard, but it didn’t exactly come together.  Our hand mixer is probably better suited for mixing up a cappuccino than for beating egg whites, so our mousse was more liquid than mousse.  Despite that, it was yummy and chocolate-y, and a good time hanging out with friends J
