Tuesday, May 29, 2012 (Paella)

Our Spanish teacher truly concerns about students. She understands that students usually look forward to summer vacation at the end of school semester. Unfortunately, we all have to face a huge challenge-- FINAL. Therefore, she decides to give us a cooking final (similar to a feast/ celebration) to celebrate the end of school year. I love her idea and we are assigned to different jobs. I will make tortillas de patatas, which are traditional Spanish food. In class, we learn to cook Spanish rice, known as paella. I'm satisfied with our final product. With the help of Ms. Ruperez, we students learn new skills. She's adept in cooking and is willing to teach us to cook. Paella attracts great amounts of non-Spanish students, who would like to taste a bit. Unfortunately, they aren't Spanish students. (Well, here's the moment when Spanish students can become proud of themselves and mock: You didn't have Spanish! And make a grimace. That's actually mean. hehe) Paella is indeed time-consuming since the rice absorbs all the "essence" and nutrients in pawns, clams, squids, chicken, onions, and green peppers. During summer vacation, I might as well practice at home and bring the skills when I go abroad.
