it would be blasphemy if i didn't write a post about the world cup wouldn't it? indeedy. well (feel it) it is here! i actually have lost track of so much since it started... it is infectious, no denying that! but with the world cup unfortunately, has come a LOT of take-out since no one wants to walk away from the tv these days! we literally are eating pizza, pasta, burgers, fried chicken sooo much... not to mention all the hot dogs, chips and schwarmas at the fan fests!
but it is almost over and us south africans have no idea how we are going to cope once it is over! come sunday, a severe depression may come over us!
the thing i forgot about my blog was that it is not just a place for me to put up my favourite recipes but to talk about food and food memories and experience. I realised that this is a place for me to WRITE. i love to write. and i especially like to talk about food, which often gets on the nerves of those around me. but this is all besides the point - back to the world cup!
well today, spain is playing the semi finals against germany (booooo!) spain must win. torres must score a goal. we can't be sure given spain's run so far, and given germany's run so far, it is fair to say that spain may get completely slaughtered! BUT in honour of spain, i am going to list my top 5 favourite tapas dishes:
- fried mixed peppers with chorizo and garlic (sooo yum!)
- stuffed swiss chard (its swiss chard that has been stuffed with cheese and fried... woooow)
- of course olives and pates with garlic toasts
- melon with serano ham
- spanish omelette - nothing beats this. it is so filling because of the potato in it, and just drizzled with olive oil and a side salad!
ok it is time to go....
oooh i forgot one (guess it is gonna have to be top 6 favourite taas dishes!) - gambas! that's shrimp/prawns thats soaked in all this garlicy olive oil - too delish!
