Student Committee's activities:
•Soup Kitchen: The tentative date to volunteer at the local soup kitchen will be Sunday, May 12th. Please let us know ASAP if you would like to participate.
•Food drive: please bring in a non-perishable food item CEA and the student committee will organize it and bring it to the soup kitchen or ONG organization. You have until Friday, May 3rd to turn in non-perishable food items so the student committee can donate it.
•Clothes drive: At the end of the semester when you're packing to go home, I bet you will notice that you have accumulated a lot of clothes you don't want anymore, books you won't bring back, etc. If you want to donate them instead of throwing them away, bring them to CEA and together with the student committee and ONG organazations we can donate them to people in need.
Into the culture...
Tapas bar recommendation: Bar Avelino
Location: Calle Imaginero Fernández-Andes, 1
Description: This is a really cheap place, to hang out on a sunny day or lazy evening, full of young people, enjoy it!
Spanish recipe of the day: Spicy chorizo potatoes with fried eggs
This is probably the most Spanish dish you can ever taste, try and make it on your way back whenever you feel second-homesick (Seville)
Directions: 1.Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender. Drain really well then fry in 1-2 tbsp olive oil until golden. Scoop out the pan, then add the onion and chilli and keep frying until softened. Add the chorizo and paprika and cook for a minute then add the potatoes back and cook, tossing everything together.
2.In a separate pan, fry the eggs. Serve on top of the potatoes.
That´s all folks,
Have a lovely week
