I mostly stayed in bed all day watching movies and being a lazy until it was time to get ready and go. I was out the door early enough to have an hour to window shop in Madrid (and get a really adorable floral summer scarf!) before heading to my sushi party with Patty and her family!! ^_^ Patty told me she'd teach me how to make sushi and have a dinner party in celebration of finishing my thesis, and tonight was the night!
I got to meet her neice and nephew, who were really adorable and spoke to me in English (aww), as well as her sister, who happens to be an English teacher and said she'd spread my résumé around to the schools she knew of for their summer camps (yay!). We spend the night drinking wine, talking in English and learning to make sushi! When we'd prepared everything, we sat down to dinner with Patty's parents. As it turned out, the sushi was actually really yummy! Second time I'd had sushi since arriving in Spain, and it was actually way better than the expensive place I went to last fall here. It made me miss Sakura and their sushi train in Portland, as well as Sodona's in Colorado... Oh... Sushi. <3
For dessert I made chocolate melting cakes, and Patty's dad even went to the corner store for some vanilla ice cream for them! Everybody LOVED them, and the kids kept telling their mom to get the recipe from me. Haha! Cute. I have to admit, of all of the times I've made them, these definitely turned out the best - they tasted exactly like my dad's... Yummy!
The night was really fun and it was cool to feel so welcome as an honorary member of their family for the night! <3
XOXO
