Orange Carpaccio in a Salad. And Friends will be Friends!

I got this recipe from Caterina, an old friend of mine that I still keep since we were 6 years old. Not that we see each other very often, not that we have much in common; she is the kind of friend that you see after a year or two and you feel comfortable to talk with, you feel understood and you feel that you are somehow connected for life! Gràcies Caterina!

Talking about old friends takes me back to my old school, which I’m so proud of. I already showed you some pictures and stories of the School and today I want to show you some of the walls inside. It was such an inspiring environment :D.
See? Culture was everywhere… Musicians on the walls, Fairy tales characters in the School Library, Odyssey’s scenes watching us walk through the corridors, hunting scenes paintings on the dinning room walls… aaahhhhh… how I loved my School!
The school’s pictures are courtesy of Montse, another old friend of mine with a wonderful contagious laughter. Gracias Montse :D.
Believe it or not, this is a Public school, not Private!!!! I was lucky enough to spend there 8 years of my childhood. For those of you interested, here you have the School’s web.

Caterina, Montse, Cecilia i Eulàlia… ens veiem aviat noies :D (message to my school old friends).

The oranges combined with the olives is such a vibrant flavor combination and the cod must add an amazing touch.

Love your old school — how beautiful it must be!

Yum! I might try this with scallops, since we don’t get much cod here.

Sorry to have missed the tortilla round-up!

CHeers!

What a beautiful and public school. It seems the Spanish understand a school should encourage, thought, creativity, humanity.

You’re a fine example of that, chica.

I love citrus with olives…they go hand in hand in mouth!

Your school looks more like a castle! It must be a wonderful place for children to appreciate art & culture. Thanks so much for sharing this, as well as the carpaccio idea (which I will try this week!)
