I like pomegranates.

I have eaten 3 new fruits since arriving in Spain.
Chirimoya
Caqui
Granadas (Pomegranate)

Last night at dinner, we had pomegranates for dessert. If you've ever eaten a pomegranate, you know that you only eat the seeds. When we have pomegranates, Amparo prepares them, putting all the seeds in a bowl, then pouring some mandarin juice over them. It makes for a delicious dessert.

Out of my 3 new fruits--pomegranates are my favorite, then chirimoya, then caqui. Actually I think I like chirimoya and caqui equally, but I haven't eaten a good caqui in a while.

In general, dessert here is very good. If we don't have fruit for dessert, there are always little cups of chocolate mousse, flan, coffee flavored pudding, or natillas (similar to a mix of vanilla pudding and whipped cream). I really haven't eaten out much since arriving in Valencia--only a few select times. But when I do go out and eat a menu del día (Menu of the day--fixed price--2 courses plus dessert and beverage)--the dessert is always really really good.

That's all I really feel like writing. I already know that I want chocolate mousse for dessert tonight as a little treat for myself. I bet Marli will do the same...
