Toledo is a great day trip from Madrid....Its a cheap 40 minute train ride from Atocha station and there is so much to see. Just be prepared to climb lots of hills stairs and see some of the most gorgeous churches and cathedrals you have ever seen. We didn't do any planning before leaving Madrid, just grabbed a map at the first Tobacco store we saw after getting off the Renfe and started wondering. No matter how lost you get you are always no more then 10 minutes from a church or a gorgeous view! </div>

The crackers should be mostly golden brown, but there will be variety – some more brown than others. If you cared, you could remove the darkest ones and continue cooking the others, but I don’t bother – just another sign that they are homemade and imperfect! The lighter ones will still be crunchy, though they might have some chew to them as well.</li>

Another typical Spanish breakfast....Churros and chocolate. While San Gines may be a bit touristy its is an absolute must while in Madrid. The chocolate dipping sauce is so rich and amazing, the Spanish actually drink it when they are done dipping (I didn't). Try going during the week to avoid the hoards of tourist.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm convinced this is one of the best kept secrets of Madrid. There is a small church and convent behind San Miguel Market where there is a secret cookie operation going on, in El Convento de Corpus Christi. When researching online there is very little information so all I knew was we had to ring a door bell and a nun would give us instructions on where to find the cookies. When we got there it felt like an illegal drug deal...the door is basically an unmarked door in a small square and the deal is done via a lazy susan without seeing anyone. I don't want to give too much information because I wouldn't want to ruin the fun of the adventure...if you ever find yourself in Madrid make sure you seek out these cookies.</div>

I<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> really enjoyed this one. A story of a Native American teenage boy coming to terms with his mother's recent rape and his Indian heritage all while navigate through his teenage years. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the novel, Joe, a sheltered 13-year-old, must come to terms with crime, justice and adult sexuality after his mother is brutally raped. She is so traumatized that she initially will not speak of the incident or name her attacker, and Joe decides to find the culprit. He quizzes his father, eavesdrops on conversations and bikes around the reservation with his three closest friends, investigating. The way he ends up handling it in the end is shocking yet I understood why he did it. This is a definite must read!!!!!</span></span>NicoleMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12507833563326399219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427996719801420402.post-2247204894407732642013-02-07T07:29:00.002-05:002013-02-07T07:29:49.245-05:00Where does the crust go?!?!<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So this has been bothering me since my arrival in Spain....crustless bread. Do they cut off the crust after baking or have they figured out a way to bake it without getting a crust? </div>

I really thought I was going to love this book but after reading it I have mixed feelings on it. While the scene on the beach was horrific it was quick the author breezed over it a little two quickly and there seemed to be some quirky things that bothered me. For example after the funeral Sarah's mom and sister are at the house and she asks them to leave her alone but they never questioned the fact that there was suddenly a Nigerian girl in her house.<br />
<br />
Another thing was at the beginning of the book it seems like the Batman costume is a result of Charlie's father's death but then it becomes clear that he was wearing it before the death. It would make more sense if he began wearing it after the padding based on his reasons for wearing it. Not to mention Charlie draws some unbelievable conclusions for a four year old especially about his mom's relationship with Lawrence.<br />
<br />
Once I got past these little quirky things I did like the plot of the story and I actually did really enjoy the plot of the story I just wish some of the details were a little more consistent. I am glad I read it and I would recommend it but let me know if these same things bothered you....NicoleMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12507833563326399219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427996719801420402.post-42736109900299654032013-01-30T06:30:00.000-05:002013-01-30T06:30:01.874-05:00Jamon y Queso Crepes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last few weeks have been full of travel and temperature changes. Freezing cold snow filled NJ for the holidays, then off to sunny warm 80 degree Anguilla, back to an even colder NJ when the temperature were in the teens, and off to sunny 50 degree Madrid.

The holidays were extra busy this year due to my TEFL course. I spent Thanksgiving in Madrid one of my teachers made pumpkin pie (big deal in Spain since pumpkin is hard to come by) then one of my TEFL friends and I went to an American rib place for Thanksgiving dinner (no pictures of this because I had a horrible head cold and the pictures are awful) but here is a December wrap up which includes a lot of studying, wine, and family time...</div>

Between my month long intensive course to get certified to teach English and the holidays I have been seriously MIA. But I have a lot to tell you all...new friends, new places I've traveled and lots of new stories. So don't you worry I am getting back into the groove of posting again.<br />
<br />
My month long class was amazing there were eight of us in our group and it was an awesome group to say the least. During the four weeks it took for me to get my TEFL certificate I got to teach 6 classes. Coming from a finance background this was an interesting experience but it was amazing. All my classes were adults and they ranged from beginners to high intermediate business English.<br />
<br />
The first class I taught was a intermediate business class. I was teaching them about "small talk" what it was and topics that are acceptable for the work place. I asked the students to give me topics they thought were acceptable and not acceptable and I would write them on the board. The first unacceptable topic I was give was "aids" I thought it was odd for the first answer but it was a good answer so I wrote it on the board. All the students started hysterically laughing....she had said "age" but I misunderstood. Opps.<br />
<br />
Later this week I'll tell you about the "shitting" incident in class, share some pics and maybe some new years resolutions .NicoleMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12507833563326399219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427996719801420402.post-83549731702612050152012-09-17T11:44:00.001-04:002012-09-17T11:44:46.795-04:00I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT....<br />

I know I have been an AWFUL blogger, but I swear I'm going to turn that around. November 1st I'm moving to Madrid for a year to teach English and do some traveling around Europe so of course Espresso Cookie Ice Cream will be coming with me.<br />
<br />
Until then I will keep you all in the loop with the visa process, packing and the move...I know those don't seem like the most exciting posts but once I get there it will be posts about food, travel, teaching English and other adventures!<br />
<br />

Obviously one of the best cities in the world for food. In a city where one meal was better than the next I narrowed it down to just a few for the sake of not letting this post get to lone. I understand that they say "french women don't get fat" but send an America there and its all over....<br />

<a href="http://www.restaurant-lasserre.com/uk/index.php" target="_blank">Lasserre</a> this may have been one of the most amazing meals I have ever had. From the time you enter you're treated like royalty brought up the elevator by the impeccably dressed staff to a stunning dining room I've ever seen. I can't even make a suggestion for what to order to because everything was amazing.<br />

<a href="http://404-resto.com/restaurant/paris/404/about/" target="_blank">Le 404</a> in Paris, is a trendy Moroccan restaurant and they only take reservations a week in advance, and they only have two seating times each night. The food is good, portions very big (especially for french standards), and its not too expensive. The Tagines and couscous are delicious!!! </div>

<a href="http://www.joel-robuchon.net/#/en/restaurants/2/" target="_blank">L'Atelier</a> de Joel Robuchon has two paris locations, and is absolutely amazing. With two Michelin stars this place has impeccable food as well as service. When you walk in it's set up like a sushi bar and when I went they didn't take reservations we had to head over when they open at 5:30 to put out name in for later that night, but I think that may have changed now. Their famous mashed potatoes were complementary and oh so creamy and rich. Make sure you try the souffle, Le Jambon Iberico de Bellota (aged Iberico ham on toast), and the foie gras amuse bouche.</div>
