25% Spanish

I have had several people ask me what kind of food that I make...American or Spanish?  I make a little of both.  For example, today we ate meatloaf, baked potatoes and spanish salad (lettuce, tomato, onion, corn, tuna, olive oil, vinegar and salt).  Anytime that I make a spanish dish from scratch, I feel quite proud and accomplished.  You see, living in another culture has many levels of adjustment and food is one of them!  I have come to be quite proud of my lentils soup!  It is a spanish favorite of mine and I realized last week that I officially conquered the recipe!  Why?  Well, because Matt said that I had "outdone" my spanish teachers!!  I can never be 100% spanish, but maybe 25%!!   Here is an Andalucian favorite of mine...puchero.
