Food, Christmas Eve, Paris

Oh my gosh. I bought the best baguette from Consum. When I grabbed it from the basket it was still warm. I ran home and immediately cut it up to make the most amazing peanut butter-jelly-banana sandwich of my life. I love trying new foods, but I never tire of the kiddie classic PBJ. Natural peanut butter, warm baguette, fig jam and perfectly ripe banana is truly what heaven tastes like.

I had to go to the grocery store to stock up on some food since nothing will be open tomorrow in Paris. I felt so Spanish buying jamón ibérico (I never buy ham, but since it's Christmas I went for the top notch national emblem of Spain), three different types of cheese, wine, and a baguette. Tonight I'm going to a Christmas Eve gathering with friends. I'll bring the wine, cube the cheese, and slice up some Fuet. Fuet is this catalán sausage thing. I don't know how to describe it really, but it's so good.

Anywho, my friends live near Sagrada Familia and I think I want to walk there, but not if it's still raining. It's been raining on and off all day, and my laundry is dominating my room, hanging on whatever I could find that would hold it so it could get semi-dry (the doors of the armarios in my room are currently doing the majority of the work). I'll probably end up packing some damp clothes in my suitcase for Paris.

Okay, time to stop distracting myself from my life.

See you in Paris, and Merry Christmas (Eve).
