Eating Arroz With A Spoon, Not Paella With A Fork

So, today is Saturday, a day of family meals with the kids, in the case of my señora and señor. So, today we had arroz con pollo, which is, essentially, paella minus the ham and seafood. I sat down to a plate of hot, saffrony goodness; rice, chicken, red peppers and artichokes, sitting in a bowl, a thick sauce sticking the pieces together. But there was no fork and knife to cut the huge pieces of cjhicken, just a spoon and bread, to be used to make mouth sized pieces. So, I ate, awkwardly breaking the chicken with the edge of my spoon, and feared that the chicken would slip in the sauce and go flying somewhere in the direction of my señor. Luckily, it did not happen. Nonthless, it was quite the struggle.

I guess, sadly, that is all I have report, nothing very new or exciting here. So...the paella story is the best I can come up with...ha.

Well, I have, as of late, simply been doing homework and living my life here in Spain. I am really just counting down the days until the arrival of my guests, ONE MORE TO GO!! yay.

Miss you all,
love you all
me

Hey Zaika

While I am writing this, your first guest is about to arrive and your second one is only few hours away from boarding a plane to Spain.
So your home support team is on its way.
I am sure there is still a lot of interesting stuff you can write about - it's just you've been there for awhile now and you stop noticing things: they are part of your daily routine and you are no longer aware of them.
It there any specific reason why they eat paella with a fork and this arroz thing with a spoon? It does sound a little uncomfortable.
Believe it or not, we don't have a whole lot going on here either and really nothing to write about. My main entertainment these past couple weeks has been looking forward to my visit to you, and thinking and planning this whole thing out.
Now that Sveta and IIIEHbKA are bringing you some stuff you asked for, start thinking if you need anything else because you're getting a second chance.
Enjoy your home company!
Love and miss you a lot!!!!
