Made this today, Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Figs, from Mark Bittman. It’s good, but not wonderful. My flatmates were really interested in what it was. I think I still like brussel sprouts best in butter and garlic.

I also had “pancetta” today, but not the Italian way; rather, fried in large chunks, with a vaguely vinegar-like flavored pepper sauce, and balsamic-vinegar-soaked mini-onions. (I don’t know what these are called.) It was. . . well, interesting. A really great flavor, but the texture was, well, way too fatty. Not again, thanks.

Went to the Fundación Juan March today. The exhibition was, well, fine. Nothing special. I loved the building, though.
