Today we hosted a birthday party at the apartment here to celebrate two birthdays: Ingrid turned 36 and Pep (my host-mom's brother-in-law) turned 56. There were 25 people invited, and although we are in a fairly good-sized place this group really stressed the capacity. However, it was a very good time.
The first course involved a number of "tapas" like stuffed mushrooms, spinach quiche, salmon with strawberries on crackers, various sausages and cheeses, and "croquetas" (which I guess are just like little chicken dumplings). The second course involved three dishes: one of meatballs, one of sausage and shrimp and tofu, and the other with pig stomach and intestines and brain. After this we had birthday cake.
Everything was very delicious, and as is custom everyone stayed and talked around the table for over 5 hours (from 3 to past 8pm). I also sat with the guys as we watched Rafael Nadal lose in a tennis tournament in Madrid.
