Food, snow, and a kitty cat!

SHOW AND TELL TIME!

I think it's about time (maybe past time) that I update you on life here in Andorra. So let's have a throw-back to primary school with show and tell...I'll show pictures and tell the story behind them...

This is my first ever fresh-baked gluten-free bread loaf! Thanks to the help (and bread machine) of my lovely friend Samantha I got to enjoy warm bread for the first time in a long time!! 

I'm not sure if you can tell the scale of the bread from this photo...but, lets just say, it wasn't a perfect loaf. Very short and stout...probably weighed about a ton. Very dense...BUT EDIBLE! AND--Jaymee can attest to this--very yummy with peach jam. 
So I vote it a great success!

 

 Plus it had a cool mohawk thing :)  -->

ANOTHER great gluten-free success was this  sandwich! I am quite proud of it's creation.
Foccacia bread with a Napoletana sauce, salami, and melted emmentel cheese. Yum!


So gluten-free can be synonymous with delicious!

But enough about food...it's almost midnight!

Let's talk about one of the things I'm most dreading and excited about in Andorra...

SNOW!

First time seeing snow-capped mountains outside my window (while Tyler was here actually)

Again today, lots of snow on the mountains

Scary and exciting all at the same time :)

And last but certainly not least...

making her first-ever Aventura en Andorra blog debut...

the one...

the only...

 SHERA! 

Shera is hort for Sheherezae...name suggestion from my brilliant mother

A few of you have heard the story of how Shera was crazily thrown into my life...for those of you that haven't I will spare you the gory details and instead give you an easier version for those who are a little bit blood-queezy. 

I found Shera after hiking with some friends a few weeks ago. Actually, to be more accurate, Shera found me. Unfortunately when I took Shera home I realized that she was sick. When I tried to take her to the vet the next morning she disappeared. And for two days I was a very sad individual, feeling horribly guilty for having lost a sick kitty that was so incredibly sweet (her favorite thing to do is cuddle). But miraculously on the third day, Shera came back to find me at the aparthotel! And I was able to find a friend willing to keep her until I moved into my apartment in Ordino. Now Shera is very comfortably living and cuddling here in Ordino. I am trying to get her adopted (if any of you are interested let me know! international transport is actually relatively easy)...but there is a little white kitty at home named Cokey who would very much appreciate a friend named Shera. And I think that Shera might have stolen Tyler's heart when he came to visit, so she may have been lucky enough to find a permanent home with me :) She is the most sweet-natured cat I've ever met. She never really complains, just likes to sleep and cuddle up to keep my feet warm at night which I definitely appreciate. So that's the latest in pet adoptions for me :) 

In related news, Scout (the beautiful pup from the gossera that I worked with) found a wonderful home a few weeks ago and was adopted! His twin (who we lovingly named Scoot) is still at the gossera and doing a lot better as well.

I hope you all are doing well and keeping warm! I'm glad I've got my TCU jumpin' jammers here to keep me warm in Andorra!

Love my Jumpin' Jammers! Thanks Ty :)
