I came to Spain to photograph food.

It's true.  I am here under the premise of being a language assistant, but I am really here to pursue my dream of being a foodporn photographer.

Lies, just kidding, but it seems to be what I do a lot.  But it was all in preparation from this blog post.

What I have been eating while I have been in Spain.
      A food diary by Kendall Faris.

School Lunch:
So our lunch is provided by the school each school day, and as you can see, they are quite large. 

Above we have a typical potato and broth soup, some melon (the Irish girls said it's literally just called melon), fish, and some weird scrabbled egg and vegetable stuff. This was not my favorite meal. 

Above we have some fried fish, carrot salad, potato and chickpea soup, and pickles vegetables.  This meal was better, but the pickled vegetables were too vinegary for me.

  

Here we have a slice of what supposedly was chicken (but it definitely looks like ham), a mushroom souffle kinda thing, this pasta stuffed with some meat and white sauce, and tomato salad.  Other than the weird chicken/ ham stuff this was a very good meal! That pasta stuff is strange but really good! 

Breakfast:

I make my own breakfast everyday, and yes, mom, I still pretty much eat an egg every morning, but recently I have gotten a little creative.

Here is an egg and avocado sandwich which was delicious.

Here are two pieces of french toast I made with some honey on top.

This is yogurt, granola, and pomegranate.

Here are some fried apple and nutella crepes I made with my daily dose of coffee!

Dinner:

Most of the time dinner is not spectacular because I am so tired from school that day, but here are some highlights.

Mashed potatoes, sautéed carrots, cauliflower, and onions, and pan seared lemon pepper fish.

Homade oven fries and oven cooked lemon pepper fish with a side of orange juice.

Pesto chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onions, and cheese, and a side of mandarin oranges.

Salads:

Some days I try to eat healthy and vegan (or sometimes with chicken).

This is my attempt at homemade salsa, but really its just tomato, onion, and avocado salad.

Fired chicken, garbanzos, lettuce, other miscellaneous leafy greens, cheese, and croutons with a lemon and olive oil dressing.

Lettuce, garbonzos, grapes, walnuts, and avocado with a lemon, pepper, and olive oil dressing. 

So I am eating quite nicely here, it helps that our groceries are provided for and someone goes and picks them up every week.  Since I am at the school for only a fraction of my time I try to cook to stay busy and limit my Netflix time.  I try to avoid the frozen pizzas, but they win out sometimes too.

That's all for my food diary, thanks for reading!

Bye bye!
