bogavantes, christmas eve, lobsters

The other day Carmen from El Marino (an excellent seafood tapas bar & restaurant here) posted photos of some lobsters (bogavantes) that they had just got in. And it occurred to me that this would make for a fabulous Christmas Eve meal. It’s been years (about 20) since I cooked lobster at home, so after I call Carmen’s husband Nicolas today to find out where to get the best bogavantes in town I shall have to figure out how I want to cook them.

Any suggestions?

Today’s Photohunt theme is “hard-to-find”.

When was the last time you saw antelope on the menu?

It’s a particularly hard-to-find dish.

bolognese, lentils, risotto

Some might say I’m just avoiding WORK for the final SimonSeeks deadline tomorrow, but I prefer to think of it as… well okay, you got me. Of course the other deciding factor here is that Peter & I went to do some supermarket shopping yesterday and found out there was a special offer going on – for every 10 euros we spent we’d get a voucher for 10 euros (redeemable for every 30 euros spent between now and the end of January). So what the hell. We did actually need to stock up and even if we only use half the vouchers, that’s still 30% off every supermarket purchase for the next two months.

Hence, we ended up with ALL THIS FOOD that needed to be cooked and then frozen (the majority of these dishes will end up being Peter’s frozen lunch options). So we made up a spinach, bacon & mushroom risotto yesterday, and today a meaty bolognese and those fabby lentils & sausages. Tomorrow there’s a pork & veg stew to do as well.

But now that everything is nicely simmering away it’s time to bite the bullet and get the last of my SimonSeeks articles up. I mean, they’re all mostly done, so why is it so hard to finish them?? Wish me luck!

photohunt, written

Today’s Photohunt theme is “written”.

One of my fave seafood restaurants here serves everything so fresh
that their menu is hand-written every day, depending on what comes in.

Today’s Photohunt theme is “juicy”.

Out with friends last night we had these juicy and tender carrilladas (pig’s cheeks).
