Jamon




One of the great things about Spain is jamon. Jamon is cured pig leg (packed in salt and then left to cure in the cool mountain air) that is then sliced thinly and eaten alone or in a bocadillo (sandwich). It is really wonderful stuff. Evelyn loves it. Most grocery stores here have a whole section of pig legs hanging in the aisles, where you can purchase a leg. Every restaruant has one also, and jamon is a staple of the Spanish diet. Its hard to get jamon in the US, but it is possible, if not a little expensive.


This year back in Spain we purchased a leg, which now proudly sits in our kitchen. Which means we constantly hear "Mommy, please more jamon," from Evelyn.

Back Up and Running

Hello Everyone!!

After many months, we are back on the web.

Just a quick update: We are all doing well. After a long journey back to Granada, we are back to normail life in Spain. Evelyn is enjoying her school, Ave Maria, and her new friends there. She is also taking ballet classes, all in Spanish. Mathis is ... well, a very active boy with a good sense of humor. Dziu and Garrick are back to full time work, improving their Spanish and basically hanging out with students.

We are glad to be back in Spain, enjoying all the great tastes and colors of Granada.

Check back here for more news every week.
