Discovery...

Yesterday I went out for lunch with a few others from the school for a meeting for those who had volunteered to be prayer group leaders, and we headed to a Chinese restaurant...for those of you who have ever considered going to a Chinese restaurant when I've been in the group, you will remember that pretty much I can't eat Chinese...So, knowing that the group was going to head to a Chinese restaurant put me on the defensive. The gal in charge asked if I could handle like a salad or something there, and I figured that was doable, so we headed onward...Once in the restaurant, she talked with the employees, and came to tell me that they did not use peanut oil there, being as we were in Spain...I was excited at this point, but still cautious--Chinese food has been considered my enemy for a long time now...But, I looked in the part of the menu that they had recommended and found something that looked like it was worth a try...I got a meal special thing that included a salad (with crazy looking things that I don't think I've ever seen before), noodles (in soy sauce, I think), sweet and sour chicken ("pollo agridulce"), and it came with dessert, so I picked flan...The best part was that I could eat it all, and--I discovered that I like Chinese food! Or, at least, I like the Spanish version of the American version of Chinese food...It was good...I ate way too much...And, being as this was my first time eating flan, I was startled by the wiggliness, so I took a video of it...unfortunately I have just realized that I decided to leave my camera at home today, and as such will be unable to upload the video...maybe another day...

¡Que Dios les bendiga!

Update: Wiggling flan video has been posted!
