fresas frescas

So last weekend there was a special offer at the frutería below my flat: big box (1.5 ish kilos?) of strawberries, 3 euros! yuummmy! I bought a box, of course, and made some shortcake to go with it. took along berries when I went climbing with friends. Then yesterday I went down again to stock up on more fruit... box of strawberries, 2 euros! woohoo! I was going to off to share half the box with my flatmate, Gabrielle, knowing they would hard to eat by myself before they went bad.. but she, seeing my box on the counter, went and bought her own! hehe. I guess we love fruit. Gabrielle, by the way, comes to us from Toulouse, France. The new-ish addition (like, since Feb.) to the house, as Sarah left in January. We get along well, and make far too many desserts for our own good, as each of us likes baking a bit more than cooking. Today, inspired by the strawberries and rare presence of cream cheese in my refrigerator, I decided to make fruit pizza. mmm. Crust was a little thin, but that can be fixed for next time.

Had another friend from college come visit this last week over his Spring Break. We did lots of walking/city exploring/climbing/tapas/flamenco listening to/graffitti admiring, etc. All good activities. I had a cold all week, though, so I'm pretty tired. For this week, then, its relax, apply for renewal of current job (I think I could do Granada another year...) and plan for Mom and Dad coming in two weeks!
