Childhood Dream Come True: Seriously, the Most Incredible Treehouse Ever

Hi, I am Spanish and I only started making gazpacho last year. I remember my grandma's (she was from AndalucĂ­a), she would drink it as hers was like a drink, no lumps at all, all liquid. She would have it with ice even. I like it a bit more chunky, it all depends on how long you blend it for; considering there's bread in it... have it your way! :)

Oh, and I posted this last year too, regarding Iker, it should not be pronounced as 'Like' but in a way that more or less rhymes with 'goalkeeper' (EE-ker).

Hi, it's a Basque name from the Basque Country (North of Spain). It has become very trendy here in Spain too.

Try them in an omelette (Tortilla). Pour some olive oil and fry them with onion on low heat until soft. Then add the eggs and do as you would normally do to cook an omelette.. use a plate to turn it around and turn it until it is cooked in the center and a bit golden on both sides. Artichoke tortilla is one of my favourites and it's delicious.
Aspargus tortilla is also great.

At last someone who thinks like me! I am also from Spain.. What do people refer to when they say "Spanish"? Is it "from Spain" or "from any country where Spanish is spoken"?

Once I covered a 'once-a-fireplace-then-just-a-hole' with cardboard, which I painted white. The letting agency never realised it!

I cannot believe no one mentioned 'Carrie'. I was about 7-8 and it scared the hell out of me. I remained traumatised until I saw it again, when I was 26. 'The Exorcist' I tried to watch when I was 19 and I could not. Just the music creeps me, I cannot stand it.

I would like to know the price of a KitchenAid in the States, in Europe (well, I have checked in Spain and UK so far) it costs an arm and a leg, it's hard to believe 90% of house tours feature one! Does everybody love baking or is it just that it looks cool??
Love the tour by the way :))

In Spain kids have small trolleys for their backpacks... that way they carry nothing on their backs.

Being Spanish I wonder how people pronounce Iker.. because the I should be pronounced like in 'film' and not like in iPad.. so it'd be something like 'eeker'.

Nice house, but I looked at all the pictures and I did not see 'Spanish' style anywhere. What is Spanish for you anyway? I am Spanish and I can tell that an average Spanish home doesn't look like that at all!
