Isn’t it so rich and delicious?! We lived in Spain a while back and miss the thick, chocolatey drinks there.
Curros con chocolate! Yummy Yum!
Hi Sophie– Have you been to Spain for churros? We miss them from the years we lived there. I’ve tried to make them but it was a total flop!
Yes, I have been to Barcelona, a few times now & to the North coast & to Malaga a few times too! I love the Spanish culture too & speak Spanish too! I have been following Spanish for 5 years now!
Wow, those are some incredible finds! I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite, now I’m just hungry.
It all looks so yummy! One question, if I come and visit, will you make me oatmeal that looks like the one from Swim Cafe? Love you!
Hey Lulu- did you recognize the steamed buns?!
