Weather alert

Saturday, December 9th, 2006
Unlike some of you might think, sometimes we do have bad weather too. But, psshhhht!! don't tell nobody :D   The wind, rain and snow storm that is lashing the spanish peninsula in almost 14 regions is getting closer and the canarian emergency & security coordination centre (Cecoes) declared an oficial warning due to strong wind, with possible gusts of up to 90km/h (54mp/h). This alert is valid until the midnight of monday, so if you have planed to take a trip to the interior of Gran Canaria, be very careful. Lets hope this will bring rain but leave the rest on its way here.

"Papas arrugadas" - "crumpled potatoes" would be its direct translation.

There are actually different ways or styles of preparing them but basically its donde this way:

1) Pic small sized potatoes, like an egg, and wash them very good but leave the skin on.

2) Put them in a high saucepan, add a piece of lemon and a quarter kilo of salt for every kilo of potatoes (more or less: 1 pound = 0,454 kilo; 2.205 pounds = 1 kilo ). Fill the saucepan with water just enough to cover the potatoes on the top and
