As well as bringing their charming selves to the Seville mini-meet last week, dragonqueen and Toybox (aka jmbois, The Quiet One) also came bearing these lovely gifts. Some Swedish jams and fruit tea, a very special and somewhat intimidating Vasterbottensost Cheese with a proper cheese scraper, and an intriguing German dry red riesling. As you can see, the kittehs were not left out as dragonqueen brought them a catnip mouse and some colourful dingle balls (terrific at 3am, thanks dq!). And so we are all feeling properly spoiled here at casa az and look forward to a fabby cheese and wine event here soon (with Jessica). I’m also planning to get into some serious tea drinking this winter and have always wanted one of those teaball thingys, so this was quite a good gift too, and Nog will enjoy the jams on his toast for brekky. Thanks guys!

In case you were wondering, my photo shoot assistant was also helping out…

dark, photohunt

Today’s Photohunt theme is “dark”.

Squid ink always makes food quite dark…

On the left is very garlicky squid ink spaghetti with a perfectly grilled scallop on top. Upper right are croquettes made of minced squid (and ink) and bechamel. And below that is some crispy seafood rice. The ink not only adds colour but also a delicate and delicious squiddy flavour. Here I buy it frozen in little sachets.

… and a potentially dangerous one if someone sat down without looking first.

Though of course not as death-defying as Azar’s sofa walk.

You Are a Creative Worker
 

You are a very private person. You don’t open up easily, and you don’t open up to just anyone.

You draw a lot of inspiration and energy from your own internal world. You get bored easily around other people.

You are confident and competent. You tend to not make mistakes, and you trust your judgment.

You are down to earth and practical. You achieve success one step at a time, by paying attention to details.

What Does Your Desk Say About You?

granada, sevilla

Karin with Loki last night on the sofabed, giving him a goodnight kiss. Azar was NOT amused by this overnight guest business and spent most of the time sulking in the bedroom.

So Karin (dragonqueen) is now winging her way home – Jean-Marie (ToyBox) left on Sunday – and it’s time to get back to normal around here. Which means catching up on my SimonSeeks stuff and doing a tapas tour tonight with Spanish chef José Pizarro, who will soon be opening his own restaurant in London.

It was a great mini-meet and a fabulous trip to Granada (thanks again, K!). I’ve uploaded some photos though they are still mostly unedited. Click on the link below to have a look.
