- Quia Assignment (worth 2 pegatinas). For the assignment, you will need the reading we started in class. If you misplaced or left your paper at school, you can print/view a copy HERE.
- Are you feeling adventurous and/or hungry? You can try out two new recipes to taste the traditional foods of the fallas festival:
- Paella: This recipe "cheats" a bit using Goya brand Arroz Amarillo. The Arroz Amarillo is available at Meijer, and it saves you from buying expensive saffron. The recipe calls for clams, hard chorizo, and fancy pimiento. Feel free to substitute your favorite meats (turkey kielbasa is good substitute for the hard chorizo and chicken thighs are also common in paella recipes), or make a vegetable paella. Roasted red peppers are a good substitute for the pimiento.
- Churros con Chocolate (Very sweet dessert!)
