HEALTH WARNING

Over the past week and a half I've come to the realization that food contamination and proper handling of food doesnt mean much to Spaniards. The end all to end all was Stefanie and I coming home to our empty house(they told us they were going out for dinner and they would leave food for us to heat up) and discovering that the food they left out was on the stove waiting to be cooked...the kicker- it was raw potatoes with two, already cracked raw eggs, in a frying pan, waiting to be fried. Now, normally when they leave out food its something already cooked and just waiting to be reheated in the microwave. But assuming that Stef and I didn't come back to eat at our normal time, the raw eggs would have been sitting out for approximately 3 hours. Needless to say, it was quite the conversation Stef I had over dinner, discussing our potential poisoning.
