Haven't learned to do a decent Spanish tortilla yet for a really dumb reason. I grew up with the Mexican versions and I keep wanting to call the Iberian stuff something else. And given the rivalries between Spain and Portugal, making Spanish food would not be the best social lubricant here in Évora. The first time I made gaspacho here, I planned to do it Mexican-style (or at least the way I learned in California) and my dinner partner had a fit, insisting it had to be made by Alentejan methods, so I went to Google, did my research and got it wrong by finding an eastern Alentejan recipe (same as Spanish). Reactions to that made me duck and cover. So just Mexican tortillas here in this house... after my press finally makes it down here from Poland.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-34828855791154137362014-11-05T12:50:48.294+00:002014-11-05T12:50:48.294+00:00Some plain treasures of daily life are, if not ani...Some plain treasures of daily life are, if not animated, then animating. Your vet's challenge and your essays have stayed with me for days, so I also wanted to express my thanks - and this entry struck my vocal and writing chords. My skillet is also about 30 years old now. Though I use it for everything, I associate it with Spanish tortillas (eggs and potatoes, with a dash of sherry and parsley as I learned from a friend from Alicante who knew how to do everything like the daily connoisseur).

I have also an old frying pan; I think almost 20 years or more old. But I use it for the perfect steak… ;-)<br />Christoph N.http://www.allesprachen.at/de/news.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
