Yesterday’s fabby lunch at home… Karin (dragonqueen) had asked about where to find a good paella here, and the answer was pretty much nowhere. So then I thought I’d make one here, throw in a tortilla, and call it lunch.

Turned out great and it was the last lunch with all of us together as Jean-Marie (ToyBox) had to leave at 3pm to catch his plane.

And today Karin and I are catching a 7am (aaack!) train to Granada…

Though we’ll be staying here (Karin’s treat) which I know will be lovely as that’s where Nog and I stayed when we went to Granada back in 2005 – pre-digital camera – and so that should help take the edge off having to get up so early.

Stay tuned for Granada pics!

Remember last week when I found out about the existence of that fabby green peppercorn dijon? Well, I guess it was bound to happen but while at the supermarket last weekend I had a look for some Maille Dijon Originale – and there was still none to be found – so I ended up getting the other two varieties that were missing from having a complete set: white wine grainy dijon and 3-herb dijon (chives, parsley & basil). Then yesterday while picking up bread at a different supermarket there it was – the good old ol’ original.

Obsessive? Moi? Oh, I dunno. I have yet to try the two new ones, but I’m sure they’ll also be fabby. And besides, they fit so perfectly on that one fridge door shelf, don’t they?  Almost as if it was meant to be…

And here is a little something I call Loki con las mostazas.

sevilla tapas updates

For those of you who haven’t been over to the Sevilla Tapas site for awhile … a couple of updates.

I’ve rewritten the tapas tour page a bit and at the bottom have included this collage of “happy campers” who have enjoyed tours in the past. I’ve got another tour coming up on Saturday that I’m really looking forward to.

I also updated the Vegetarian Cuisine page, which I now hope will be helpful. A recent visit from a London-based travel writer who is vegetarian reminded me that I’d left this page “under construction” for far too long. In fact, other than restaurant updates, I haven’t been doing much on the Sevilla Tapas page of late so it felt good to spend some time on my baby. Also had a good time yesterday in my English class with Agustín, as we talked about which tapas bars and restaurants to include in my top 30 list for SimonSeeks, which is now what I’m mostly going to be doing for the next three weeks. Next deadline is November 5th…
