"All humans are made of the same clay, but not from the same mould"

The past 24 Saturday was a great day: I continue with my courses of Indian and Vietnamese cuisine in Inossidable, I had my first cakes workshop in Cuco Eventswhich fortunately it was great, and opened in Malaga, one of my favorite stores.

When you live out your town a season, and at the end of the time you come back, you realize the things that become part of your routine, not value, to which you've become accustomed and that suddenly no longer have because you have moved you, and in the other city there. I could list lots of things that I miss, starting with each of my friends, but I also Miss less stores he frequented certain routine. Power, one of them is undoubtedly Taste of America. An American supermarket where I can find an endless number of fads and products coming from the other side of the pond. Well, in fact, missed it, because no longer.

On 24 November we were in luck in Malaga: Taste of America opened its first branch in Andalusia, in the comedies street number 11, so that we have easier to be able to buy my whims: from kitchen utensils, to the most original of American cuisine and authentic products. For me, another must on the list of shopping centre, together with the Central Market, Inossidable, the Temple of wine, The beekeeper, etc.

What where is...? Look at the map:

Those who know it already know their benefits, and those who do not, do not hesitate to do so. So the same Saturday afternoon I rushed to visit the store, crowded of people browsing and buying everything a bit. I went to my delicious nachos (once you try them, others already do not mean anything...), the cereals My son's favorite (have all American cereals that you may know) and paste in sandwich making tasty Big Mac all patties that you put it (seriously, you can imagine how knows).

They have a very large variety of sauces for meat, barbecues and salads (the sauce Cajun Paul Newman, it becomes a sad chicken breast in a ten, and vinaigrette of figs for what count...) and many spices so that not there will be to go to the outskirts to be able to cook good Indian, Chinese or Mexican food.

Another thing you'll find incredible is the well loved by my natural vanilla extract. They also have a very wide selection of fondants, frostings and prepared for muffins and cakes, and if you like really pastries, there also can take with molds Nordic Warethe best for baking cakes, especially the Bundt.

Chocolate bars and marshmallows,... as well as all the artillery of American junk food make up much of the rest of the products, but what I most enjoy is the bagels as crazy me again. Weekend is a pleasure to taste one of these warm muffins: onion, cinnamon, Sesame, or nothing, simply bread. You can add it: philadelphia cheese and salmon, butter and marmalade, cream of cocoa or even cream of peanuts which also have.

Americans who live in the area and the coast are in luck because they will no longer have so much homesick, and who are here, also what we are because we can continue enjoying these pleasures, that not to be small, are less pleasures. In the times that run we need to learn to be happy with the simple things, and small, and with these Caprices I it infinitely. Take a ride, snoops and pica. You will not regret
