Today is Monday 29th of April,2012

Today marks the end of the April Fair in Sevilla.  Lots of hoos and aahs but nothing has changed since the inaugaration of the April Fair many, many years ago.  The origin of the April Fair was a get together to show  off their livestock.  For more information about the history and its origins of the April Fair, please go to Wikipedia. Personally, I am not a big fan of the fair.  The objective is to visit the fair get drunk and pay for the rides on the amusement park type rides.  

For me, I used Friday to prepare the marinate for the char siew and on Saturday I fixed Won Ton noodles for my children.  The wonton and charsiew were successful except for the sauce that goes with the noodles.  On Sunday, I baked chocolate chip cookies and used chocolate chips made and sold by a local supermarket called Mercadona.  Since I didn´t have enough chocolate chips, I managed to use old easter eggs and the chips turned out brown in color.  All in all, I had a productive weekend.  I saved some chocolate chips to give to a colleague who is having her birthday this week.

Will include pictures of my cooking adventure soon!
