We closely follow the World Cup here at our house and naturally our favorite team is Spain! They played in the quarterfinals today and since George and Johnny were home we decided to make it a Spanish celebration.
On the menu were "Gambas al Ajillo", (garlic shrimp), pa amb tomaquet, (Catalan for toasted bread with garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, and salt) tortilla espanola (potato, onion, and egg omelet) and calcots (well actually grilled baby leeks) with romesc0 sauce, and sparkling cider (American LDS Cava or Champagne)! Delicious!
We decorated our house and our faces!
We agonized!
We celebrated!
And Spain won! Their first time in the semi finals of the World Cup! Now we'll have to agonize again on Wednesday when they play Germany and hopefully again on Sunday for the finals!
Can my nerves stand it? Viva Espana!!!!!
