Once my class schedule is actually finalized, expect loads of details concerning my academic experiences thus far. Just this evening, I switched to an 8:30 am class, which is tomorrow (a crazy thought, no? Rachel is going to need some serious espresso). For this reason, tonight's post will be brief (or as brief as Rachel can be...).
For starters, I am tucked happily away in bed and my feet are very warm. Today was quite windy, so my little toes are extra appreciative of my multiple blankets.
Secondly, my tummy is full to the max. Warm toes, full belly, happy Rachel. And how did I arrive at this point? CEA (my study abroad program), treated all of its students to churros con chocolate, or churros with chocolate. Indeed, this dish is as lovely and delectable as it sounds. The churros here are simply long cylinders of fried dough. Scrumptious points already. The churros come with a cup of melted chocolate in which the churros are dipped, dunked, or if you're Rachel, completely submerged and fished out with multiple utensils. Depending on the venue, the chocolate varies in thickness, but no matter what, it is warm and delicious on so many levels. Typically, one has extra chocolate left over after the churros are consumed... so depending on how lady-like one is feeling, said chocolate can be slurped down or sipped daintily. A happy Spanish tradition indeed.
