Churros

My daughter is crazy about churros, don't ask me why because once I was the same but this faded quickly after a few very bad churro experiences and now my desire to eat them is zero. Probably a good thing, lol. That doesn't mean that I don't want to treat her to a churro breakfast once or twice a year. As it's summer holidays, I picked a morning that we would go out for breakfast together and the excitement was noticeable days on forehand. I should probably go out for breakfast a bit more because it will not even cost more than 6 euros for the both of us and she really really loves it that it's a few euros well spent.

Looking for a churreria

I try to pick another place every time we go for churros because there are plenty little churrerias as well as bars where they serve them so it's nice to check new places rather than sticking to the same place. There was a little market I wanted to check which I know has a churreria within a few minutes walking so I decided to go for that one so that we could check out the market afterwards.

Ordering

We were greeted kindly, but that's usually the case here. It was a very busy place, as per good Spanish custom, the whole bar was filled with empty coffee cups and empty plates from people's breakfast.

I ordered churros and chocolate for my daughter and a toast with peach jam for me, water and coffee for beverages. It's not often that I order coffee somewhere because I often don't think it meets my expectations but I didn't have one at home that morning, so I gave it another try.

The food

The churros were really nice, according to my daughter, but when I checked a few were crunchy but a few were definitely heated up (and therefore not nice at all). That didn't matter to here though, she ate them all, haha.

A toast with jam is usually quite similar but I enjoy it from time to time. I also like toast with tuna and avocado but sometimes I need something sweet instead.

The coffee:

Market

After I paid, we walked to the market to check out if there were many shops but sadly, just 4 were open, some were still being worked on and others were just closed that day I think. Luckily for us, there was one tiny bakery open and I noticed a cheese cake. My boyfriend loves cheese cake so I decided we'd buy a slice for him to have with his coffee at home.

Then I noticed the coconut macaroons:

I can tell you that both were delicious and I will definitely go back there in a few weeks to check what they have again. I'm also curious to find out if more shops are open by then and what they sell.

All and all it was a nice morning with the little one and afterwards we went swimming as the pool was calling us!

Churros is a Spanish breakfast dish?
I don't ever recall a Spanish cuisine served anywhere around Vancouver.
My sons just treated me to Poke for dinner this evening, it's like Hawaiian Sushi which is something that we haven't tried.
I hope you have been having some success with your treatments @thisismylife

I don't know if it's Spanish from origin but I know there are tons of "churrerias" and also normal cafes serving churros for breakfast ..

Honestly, it's just like the Dutch "oliebollen" we bake for newyears eve but then in another form. Often not fried properly, having tons of oil inside, thus not appealing to me anymore, haha. Had too many of the reheated or fried in oil not hot enough ones to be done with them.. But kids love them.

I know poke bowls, I ordered a few in the past but always disappointed as I don't like the ratio of rice with the other ingredients :) maybe these places were just cheapskates I don't know if it's supposed to be served that way.

So far I only have swimming as "treatment" together with painkillers, this was my second weekend where both days were very manageable. This morning I woke up with pain in my hip (my mattrass sucks) which happens a few times a week at least but is not because of the hernia, the back is ok so far for the few hours that I'm awake.

As soon as they have a place for me, I have physical therapy 10x to help me with some things, I honestly think it may be enough looking at the improvements made by just swimming. I may have to get a swimming card after summer to keep doing it a few times a week..

Hope you're doing better yourself!

I have to be honest when I say I'm not sure. We rarely drove past that spot until the last month of school when I had to run some errands and passed it. I looked it up and noticed it's supposed to be a small market but it wasn't clear if it's new. I guess it is but it's also possible they just haven't found many people willing to sell there.

I'm going to check it again soon although it's very likely that it remains a bit quiet during summer.. many things are on hold in August here..

I’m sure it will reveal itself in due time. If theirs money to be made people will open there.

It's a good thing that you make out time to take your daughter out for breakfast. The goodies all look delicious.

We don't do it often because otherwise she'd have way too much of these churros and chocolate haha but yes it's nice! !LADY

Yeah, it is nice. My regards to her.

Those look awesome! What a great looking breakfast! I'm sure your little one was happy with the day, a fun breakfast followed by swimming. That sounds like a fun day to me anyway!
!PIMP

Yeah although right now we're having a heat wave so less fun to do anything haha.

How are you doing?

!PIMP

Not too bad, the weather has been awesome here so I can't complain. I can get around and pretty much ignore the annoying joint pains as much as possible!
!lol

I've just written a song about a tortilla.
Well, it is more of a rap really.
