Yesterday I spent my entire afternoon (2-9) at a Spanish barbeque. Well, there's not too much mystery to it, but I thought I'd share some of the different foods, and activities you'd find at a Spanish barbeque. First of all, in case you end up going to an event like this, when someone says "hey, let's meet at 2pm," they really mean we're going to arrive at 3 and eat at 4 or 5, so don't go in expecting to eat lunch at 2pm. Second, if you don't eat meat, or any kind of pig product, then plan on eating salad and potato chips for lunch.
La Golochera is the name of one of Javi's friends "Bodega". A "Bodega" is a wine cellar, but it's not what you think when you hear the word wine cellar. It is a place for family and friends, who often times share the rent or have bought the bodega together, to have meals and spend time together. Every weekend, Javi and I have lunch with his dad's side of the family in their family "Merendero". A "Merendero" is basically a bodega but it usually includes a living room area and does not have to include a wine cellar.

Chorizo a la Sidra:
- Cut 3 chorizos in half.
- Put a bottle of Asturian sidra in a pot and boil with the chorizo for about 10 minutes, or until chorizo is tender and cooked to your preferred "doneness".
- Cut the chorizo into small slices and serve in the sidra.
- Enjoy!
