This is a new section to the blog. We know that so many of you have your own blog where you are documenting your experience here in Seville and your travels around Europe. Reading about other peoples' experiences is always interesting, so each week we will be featuring a student's blog! If you are interested in submitting a post or your blog in general, please let us know so we can put it up here!
Student blog entry of the week: Tatum Price recounts her trip to Mérida, in Extremadura. Check it out!
Here is the link: We didn't visit Rome, but we saw their ruins.
Tapas bar recommendation:
This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in the city, there you can enjoy their wonderful tradicional food and drinks with a great service who will make you feel welcome since the very first bite ;)
Location: Calle Francos, 14
Spanish Recipe of the day: Torrijas
Ingredients
•4-6 Slices of Stale White Bread
•3/4 cup Milk
•1 Egg
•Vegetable Oil for frying, such as Canola or Corn Oil, NOT olive oil
•1/8 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
•Sugar and Cinnamon
•Honey
Directions:
- Pour the milk into a medium-size mixing bowl. Add the egg and beat together. Add vanilla extract, if desired. Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to cover the bottom and heat on medium. Be careful that the oil does not burn.
- If you are using stale white bread, place one slice in the milk-egg mixture and quickly flip it over with a fork. Make sure that the bowl is next to the frying pan, so you can quickly transfer it from the bowl to the heated pan.
- Carefully lift the bread out of the mixture and let the excess milk drain before placing the bread in the frying pan. Repeat for each of the other slices.
- After 2-3 minutes, check the bottom of the bread. As the slices turn golden, turn each one. You may wish to use a nylon spatula or tongs to turn the slices over. Make sure that you have enough room in the pan to turn the slices.
- Remove each piece from the pan and place on a plate. Sprinkle the top with sugar and cinnamon. If you prefer, drizzle honey over the top. Serve immediately.
That´s all folks,
Have a lovely week!
