Eating Toothless / Comiendo Sin Diente

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

OUT TO DINNER with visiting friends Saturday night. I had one less tooth (removed Friday morning) and a very sore mouth. There sure is a lot of good food here even if I don't want to chew. We went to El Abrevaero Restaurante (also known by English-speaking mouths as Arrivederci, Arrivaducci, Abracadabra, Abravadura — click here for that story) and I chose a main dish of Revuelto con Gambas. Although you do scramble eggs to make a revuelto, it's very different from what we know as scrambled eggs. Among the differences: there can be more additions to the dish than there are eggs and revueltos are consistently more lightly cooked. And the freshest, best-quality eggs are used or it won't taste like a real revuelto.

Dessert was natillas, a Spanish custard dish topped by a sponge biscuit. Delicious, and relatively painless. But I still topped off my meal with Paracetamol!

FUIMOS A CENAR con amigos el sábado por la noche. Tuve un diente menos (sacado el viernes por la mañana) y una boca muy dolorida. Seguro que hay un montón de buena comida aquí, incluso si no quiero masticar. Fuimos a El Abrevaero Restaurante (también conocido por 'las bocas que hablan inglés' como: Arrivederci, Arrivaducci, Abracadabra, Abrevadura) y disfruté de Revuelto con Gambas. El postre era natillas. 

Todo delicioso, y relativamente indoloro. ¡Pero seguí la comida con paracetamol!

  1. Soft food is certainly good when it comes to post-dental surgery

      And I had attachments added to my teeth Wednesday, which are now requiring me to learn a different way to chew! Ice cream is looking better and better.

      Since I started having revueltos here in Spain, American scrambles just don't do it for me anymore. But I hope you enjoyed yours. Or maybe you meant breakfast would be natillas?

  3. Your dinner looks delicious! And soft on your mouth. Fresh eggs definitely make a difference. A friend occasionally gives us some and you can taste the difference!
    Have a wonderful Friday!

      Often, the revueltos have too much salt for my taste. This one was perfect.

      The pulled tooth is already a memory... except that I can't believe how quickly things are aligning in my mouth now. But, I'm only mid-week of tray set #3 of 67 weekly trays. So the braces are a long haul.

      Hmmm... Viagra... THAT explains it. In any case, it made me forget about the pain. Their natillas is freshly made (as is everything at Abrevaero). So good.
