I took my parents around DC to check out a couple of wind-themed events by the Washington Monument: a kite festival and a pillow fight. Then we had Spanish meatballs. I combined ground beef with onion, garlic, and an egg, and then I roasted almonds with garlic in olive oil to make a picada, which I added to a mixture of white wine, saffron, and lemon zest, then cooked the meatballs in the sauce. The full recipe, albóndigas en salsa con picada de almendras, is from Claudia Roden and can be found here.
