Our Biracial Romance...

Ok so here's the scoop summed up: I'm Mexican and Spanish, and my boyfriend Nate is Croatian, Jewish, English and a ton of other races. A lot of interesting things have happened in these five and a half years that  we've been together. Many of which are new experiences with dishes and desserts. These are the stories of a few of those things.

Bread. Growing up as a Mexican-American girl, my mother always made us sandwiches with either white or wheat bread. That's basically all we knew with what to make a sandwich. So whenever Thanksgiving  came around we (my sister, brother, and myself) would always get excited when we saw ROLLS. Cute little mini bread balls. We loved them. They were different, and "fancy" LOL. (Scroll down for further reading)

                 
...our "fancy" rolls. Aren't they beautiful?

I've had many dinners with Nate's family, and i have to admit it was quite a new experience for me. They introduced me to all sorts of bread which i didn't even know existed. Seriously. It was sad haha. I guess you could say i was a noob when it came to bread varieties. I went from knowing 2 basic types to knowing these.....


Baguette. Skinny long bread that you eat with butter. Something i thought was crazy because i only ate bread with jelly or cream cheese lol.
Ciabatta  bread. It's probably my favorite. Being deprived from this bread should be child negligence.

Corn Bread. Surprisingly it's amazing with a bit of butter...and A LOT of honey.
Flat bread. Great for pitas with a whole lotta lettuce. :) (side joke: What did the salad say to the dressing? Lettuce (let us) be friends! LOL i know i know it was dorky but whatever)

Poppy seed bread. WARNING seeds get stuck in between teeth so floss floss floss!

Sourdough bread. I cannot for the life of me eat this. I do NOT like it.  NO THANK YOU....ILL PASS.
Focaccia bread. I love this bread!!! It can have different herbs on it and its absolutely dee-lishious! But what's up with them dipping it in olive oil and vinegar?
Rye bread. It tastes literally like black licorice. SO not for me. LOL

Soooo all in all, I really like a lot of them, but i won't eat it if it just plain smels weird to me. On the fllip note, Nate has been introduces to lots of yummy (probably not healthy) desserts such as: Flan (my affair. no jk but seriously its amazing.), pan dulce, arroz con leche, and more. :) So before you get involved into a biracial relationship, word of advice: You will have many new experiences, some not so fun. But all in all it's a fun ride to learn a lot of new things!
