8 months later.

When I found out my friend Ra was pregnant, I decided I wanted to make a blanket for her little one. My plan was to get it to her when he was born...and then for Christmas. Now that my "little boyfriend" 8 months old(almost 9) I finally finished it!

Little Zachary finally got Auntie Lisa's blanket, and it turned out pretty cute! I did not come up with the pattern myself,(I got it off the yarn covering) but finishing it is such a big accomplishment for me, and he hasn't even out grown it.

Let me tell you, as a beginner, trying to interpret those knitting and crocheting patterns is nigh impossible. But I will keep trying because I kinda like it. It is nice being able to do that sort of thing. and it will be nice when I have kids too. I'm also looking forward to teaching my best friend, Bethany how to as well. (my PREGNANT friend Bethany! Yay!)

So Luis made me a tortilla de patatas. Which is essentially a potato omelet. Delicious! This is how he made it:

4 Potatoes

5 eggs

1 small onion, chopped

2 unpeeled cloves of garlic

salt and olive oil

Peel and slice the potatoes as thin as you can. Heat up the oil in a pan with the garlic (there must be enough oil to slightly cover the potatoes. When it is warm enough, gradually add the potatoes and onion. cook them till they are coming apart. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. When the Potatoes are done, strain them and add to the eggs. put all of that back into the frying pan and put the heat on medium. While it is cooking, tuck in the edges, and move the pan around a bit till you can tell it is firm (be very careful not to burn it) When the bottom is firm, put a plate on top and flip it over. then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side. When it is done, flip it onto a clean plate and enjoy.

It is seriously good! If the Pan thing is too confusing, Then you can find lots and lots of videos of it on youtube (but they will probably be in Spanish)

mmmm I think I know what I want for breakfast tomorrow.
