Love the way my host mom prepared the soup of the day...
She boils the onions, garlic, peppers, perhaps some mushrooms, perhaps some beans....and many other unidentifiable ingredients....then the most important part...she BLENDS everything together...and the creamy aromatic soup is served!
It comes in different colors and portions...sometimes with a little rice, sometimes with fine spaghetti, and most of the time...just soup with bread...
Second course, the salad, love the way she cuts the veges and decorates them into a colorful plate of salad. Her best plate of salad yet: cabbage with black olives, avocados, sweet papayas, tomatoes and finally sprinkle the olive oil and vinegar on top of it. I actually fell in love with vinegar here in Barcelona...hahaha..sounds funny in Chinese-- 喜欢吃醋了！ (likes to be jealous:P)
Last but not least the desert. My host mom said the last course must always be sweet.
she does not like it when i mix everything up , such as eating the deserts then going back to the salad or the meat. So you could either choose a type of fruit or Flan ( spanish sweet pudding) with ice-cream. Weirdest contrast to my typical way of eating fruits, instead of eating the fruit ripe and crunchy (pears, peach, apples), we eat it overripe and soft....the taste is extraordinary sweet~~!!
So I learned how to eat soft overripe pears, peaches and also apples which are heated in the oven after 2 minutes.. Try it and tell me how it tastes~!!!:P
