cooler weather

The last few weeks have actually started to feel like fall weather. I know, it's crazy. Mid November and during the day (when it's sunny, which it usually is in Spain) and I'm getting hot and a bit sweaty...well, just walking to the weekly Friday fruit and veggie market! It's very cool in the morn and when the sun goes down...but I love the days...and would love them even more if I wasn't working inside a dark, editing suite all day, it's like a dungeon in a mansion! I have worn my winter jacket a few times, but just for short walks to the bus station. When I do go out when it will be dark and cool, which isn't too much, I've been trying to wear my amazing Italian made and bought, wine colored leather sexy jacket! I love that thing!

Another thing I've enjoyed this fall is that my housemates and I have been rotating making dinner for each other. So, there are 3 of us, but not for long because Brent is leaving in a week...sadness. But, one week I cook dinner, the next Clarisse and the next Brent. It's good to have a night off...although we helped Brent this last time...otherwise we would've been eating at 10 pm like the first time he cooked us a meal. I've been able to enjoy some French cooking/baking as well...mmmmm!! The sad thing is...listen to this Emily...the first time Clarisse made crepes, they were amazing! I could eat them just plain and yummy. In the recent weeks, she's attempted and they just are not working out. She thinks it's the flour she's using. Cheap flour from Aldi's not good for crepes...I don't know. Doesn't make sense....but seriously...so sad. And I don't mean they don't taste good...we just can't even eat em because they are sticking to the pan, not able to flip, not cooking properly...just a sad sad few attempts. I think she's given up until she goes home for Christmas to bring back some flour from there for us. I can't wait until next year. Em, I think of you every time we had or tried making crepes. you'd love it!
