SPANISH IN AMERICA

I'm away from My Kitchen in Spain, visiting family in Atlanta, Georgia. But even here I'm finding glimpses and tastes of Spain all over the place. Here are a few photos of Spain in the States.


We bought a whole crate of sunny clementinas imported from Spain.
The kids eat them like candy. And the snowmen love them, too!

Is Spanish moss actually Spanish?
In Savannah, Georgia, the December sun is as warm as the Costa del Sol. 


Olives from Spain--a perfect Christmas gift.

Family Christmas tree. 



HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

  1. That sounds like fun - I lived in Atlanta for a couple of years. Great farmers markets! My landlady's mother organised door to door carol singing and the church brought everyone on the street a basket of fruit. I said that I wasn't religious but they were most insistent that I took it, no strings attached!

  4. Happy Holidays! We just received a Fermin Jamon and half case of cava for Christmas in Montana. Looks like the start of great holiday. We plan to make your double mashed potatoes with pimenton, Habichuelas Salteadas con Jamón and the red cabbage you featured last week. Thank you for the great recipes. Merry Merry!

    1. Heather: Sounds wonderful. My son's household has ordered a Spanish ham as well. But Christmas dinner will be Venezuelan--the inlaws' contribution. Enjoy!

  5. Hi Janet, I've enjoyed reading your excellent blog for quite a few years now but have never written a comment until now. Your posts are so well done. I guess that it's your long and succesful experience as an author which shows through. Anyway reading of your family Christmas in Atlanta has motivated me to write to wish you and your family all the very best for a happy and healthy 2022 from Melbourne, Australia.
