Francisca is our host mother and is a mighty fine lady. She doesn't speak any English and has two grown sons. She has hosted American students for ten years, so she is a pro. We eat breakfast and dinner with her at the apartment every day. Usually dinner is around 8:45 or 9, which is early for around here, but she knows we Americans are not used to eating so late.
Here is what our table looks like every night:
Super lovely!
Last night we ate this...
Salad (not on this plate), then artichokes covered in fried egg, grilled pork with red peppers on top, and Spanish potatoes that are super popular around here! For desert we usually have fruit, like cherries or strawberries.
Our dinner ritual: We hear some sort of call from the other side of the apartment, then we all sit together at the table and she turns on the news. Then we talk about the news and what is going on and who everybody is. So, we are totally "in the know" of what is going on here in españa. We eat our desert and then we help her bring in the dishes, and that's the end!
