Desayuno

DSCN0879

In Spain, breakfast, or “desayuno”, was my favourite meal of the day. Almost all of the little cafes in the “ancient quarter” served simple croissant/coffee/orange juice breakfasts, often for only a couple of Euros. Some highlights included eating at the “churreria” which served churros dipped in warm chocolate, and the cafe which served enormous powdered sugar breads.

As I'm sitting here having my morning coffee and being a good girl and skipping the ontbijtkoek, that's looking particularly delicious right now! Although as a Floridian, the unnatural orange color of that orange juice leaves me a bit scared. ;)

as wonderful as they might look and taste in the pictures (LOL) they're not breakfast menu to me LOL

my indonesian stomach needs a proper nasi goreng (fried rice) or bubur ayam (chicken congee) to survive the day :)

Churros dipped in chocolate?! Sounds heavenly. I want it all now! Here, we eat hot dogs every. single. morning. I don't even eat hot dogs at home...ugh.

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and this is perfection! I love having just a croissant and a frothy café au lait.

To answer your comment, I haven't seen the movie "September Issue" yet, i'm waiting to go see it with my fashion-loving friend who lives in Toronto :)

So, you're back in Canada?? Please update! I want to hear about it, and I really hope you continue writing your blog!!!

Yum! I miss those frothy little European cappucinos and, of course, those buttery pastries.

This series of posts is doing nothing for my burning desire to visit Spain, by the way.

Do you fancy going back and picking up some more so you could send it to all 110 of your followers? That would be nice. :)
