After a day of walking around town with Aly, we (Aly, Katherine, and Lauren) decided to forego another dinner at a restaurant, so we cooked in the apartment! And by we, I actually mean Aly (who, for the record, is a great cook)! Eating in the restaurants can be fun, but we're going to be around for 5 weeks-- there's no way I'm going out to eat for a month straight! Last night, we decided to have spaghetti. Aly and I got fresh tomatoes, spinach, and bread at a local farmers market earlier in the day. That was a neat experience-- pretty much the same as in the US, but it was even cheaper than in the regular market (everything in general is pretty cheap in comparison to the US though!).
Katherine and I had our first travel photography class-- which I'm not sure how I feel about exactly-- and came back to Aly already working in the kitchen.
Spaghetti is pretty low-maintenance, but we (or more like, Aly) diced up some tomoatoes, onion, and garlic to spice up the sauce, and then topped the sauce and spaghetti with chopped spinach.
The food was great-- we ate it out on the balcony outside of the apartment! Czech tomato sauce for pasta is so much sugary than American, which definitely surprised us. Still good, but definitely different. As you an see, Katherine and I each wore light colored shirts-- and of course the second I mentimed it, each of us had a speck of sauce on of shirts!
It was really nice to get out of the restaurant craze. It made the meal a lot more personal, and the night overall was just so much more relaxed not having to find something to eat and dealing with all of that. We will be doing it again! Tonight is dinner at a restaurant after we go to Vyšehrad castle, but Thursday will have something else in store!
