Spain

Spain! Land of tapas, late nights, sangria and naps. A kind of place I can appreciate on all those fronts. Tonight's exploration into the culinary Spanish world was a collaborative effort. If a friend tells you she's making paella and wants to come over, you let her. Since I wasn't tasked with the main dish I decided to tackle a side salad, two types of sangria and churros. Another friend made the appetizers and we were on our way to a Spanish feast. I can't tell you much of the paella recipe except that it was fantastic. And a lot of work. And it was beautiful. For the sangria, we had a Ruby Red and a White Peach. Both equally delicious. Ruby Red 1 bottle of red wine 1 cup grapefruit juice 1/4 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of triple sec juice of 2 limes Sliced oranges and limes for garnish White Peach 1 bottle of white wine 1/2 cup of orange juice 1/2 cup of triple sec 1 cup of orange sparkling water 1 peach pureed sliced peaches for garnish Spanish Sala
