Chicken with grapes.
I don't usually post much about my students, but today I have a special treat. I asked my class to write a recipe for homework, so they could practice food vocabulary and informal commands. Some of them got the point, and wrote simple recipes on their own. Some of them clearly found a Spanish recipe on the internet. Only one, however, also put that recipe through a web translator into English on the same page. If you ever take a foreign language class, web translators don't work and the teacher always knows you've used one. Here you have it, Chicken with grapes:
Grease the chicken (already prepared for roasting) with the lard or grease of goose, salt it outside and inside and go you three slices of bacon, an in the breast, another in the back, and the third one put it inside the chicken. Coloquelo in a fishing boat or source of somewhat deep oven and put it in the oven, previously heated 5 minutes. Roast it to well stronger medium oven more or except an hour, according to the size, giving him several times the return so that be gilded either for all the sides. Al to return it recielo well with the sauce that go forming in the fund. When it be well roast and golden, saquelo, quitele the slices of bacon and the cords and carve it. While it is roasted, even and remove the seeds to the grapes and goal a grain of green pepper in each grape until exhausting the grains. Pair the remainder of the grapes by food mills to obtain a thick juice. Put the fishing boat, once withdrawn the chicken, on the medium fire, pour in her the juice of the grape and the cream. Add the grapes with the pepper and the leaves of tarragon previously washes. Remove with care and leave that cook 5 minutes. Rectify of salt, if were necessary, and throw it on the pieces of chicken.

I think that is a wonderful description of chicken and grapes, and that this particular student has an excellent grasp of the language. A+ work on their hard work, dedication and passion for the class.
