This Time Last Year: Pasta with Fried Capers, Spanish White Wine, and How To Store Drinking Glasses

It's June! What were we eating (and blogging) this time last year? There were two of our favorite recipes: a very easy dessert - simple crispy phyllo squares with cream and fruit - and a pasta salad with lemon, goat cheese and fried capers. These links and more below, including Spanish white wine, tips for saving energy in the kitchen this summer, a survey on how you store your drinking glasses, and the difference between yucca and yuca.

I was so excited finding a post about Spanish wines (yes, I'm from Spain) and there I find the typo (or so I hope) of saying Catalunya (Catalonia for you in English) is located to the Northwest of Spain. It's actually to the Northeast, its sea being the Mediterranean and not the Atlantic, and that's a key factor regarding its climate and the wine it produces. It's always cloudy and rainy in the Northwest, a lot like London weather, but in (supposedly) sunny Spain.
Oh, by the way, loved the pasta recipe!
