Spanish Albondigas 15Mar09

Albondigas Spanish Style

I had some friends over for dinner the yesterday and I decided to do Spanish tapas. I started with a list of about 12 dishes and decided that might be too much for 4 people. I ended up with 6 dishes and this was one of them. I made them again today :)

Albondigas are Spanish meatballs. There’s a few different varieties, Mexican albondigas are usually cooked and served in a soup or stew with heaps of vegetables. They may or may not be in a tomato based soup either. Spanish albondigas are cooked in a thick tomato sauce. I made the Spanish kind since it was a Spanish tapas night!

Soy Latte @ Joe Art of Coffee

It’s been a little difficult finding delicious good coffee in NY after being spoiled in Sydney. None of that brewed stuff, I’m talking about espresso based coffee. I finally found a local spot on the Upper West Side that has good coffee, Joe the Art of Coffee. Although, it’s not quite like the ones I have in Sydney, it’s pretty close. I give it a 4/5, an extra point for the mere fact that it’s the only good coffee in my neighborhood.
