It’s been another pre-op special lunch week. First Pipocas invited me out to a new place (for us) called Oporto and we had a wonderful meal. Then Nog took me out for a tapa snack at one of our favourite places, Enrique Becerra (scroll down to photos 42-44) and the boys there treated us to drinks and a tapa as well as hugging me and saying they’ll see me in December. So I was feeling quite nicely spoiled.
And so yesterday I * decided to spoil Nog a bit and take him to a Mexican place called La Chaparrita that we’ve been wanting to try, ever since my friend Judy recommended it a couple of months ago. Nog had never had Mexican food before (well, other than the stuff I make at home) so we ordered a special menu for two that came with a selection of various dishes. And he loved it. We cycled there and walked back and it was indeed a very pleasant afternoon.
* of course when I say “I” treated Nog I mean “you guys” did (you know who you are) as I had to use donation money to take us out. And so, just wanted to thank you for a fab lunch and a special treat. Especially as it’s going to be broccoli & green tea at home for the next couple of days and for who-knows-how-long after I get home from hospital.

Az, I want to wish you the very best for Monday… I am thinking of you, and sending the most positive thoughts I possess. I don’t know whether they help, but they can’t hurt…
Best wishes,

I’m so glad you two had a lovely time. Mexican food is my favorite, except when it’s Thai…
Best of wishes for tomorrow, az! I’ll be thinking of you.

Hey, I just got an email from Daniel & Coral – the owners of La Chaparrita. 🙂 They’d found this blog through the Sevilla Tapas one and read about the op going well and me being back at home, etc. And they also reminded me that Nog & I are invited for free tequila shots next time we go to their restaurant. Isn’t that lovely?
Hmmm… I wonder how long one has to wait after a liver resection to drink tequila…
Hey MMF – forgot to reply to you there. Nice to see you.
Sadly, I’ve yet to find a good Thai restaurant here, SC. 😦
It all helps, truce. There’s no such thing as sending too little.
