Alejna & Janet at casa az
Long-time blog friend Alejna of collecting tokens (I think we met over at Raincoaster’s) is in town this week, with her mother and husband and two gorgeous kidlets. On Friday we decided to have a girls night out and I took Alejna & Janet on a wee tapas tour, to three quite different places. First stop was El Rinconcillo, the oldest bar in Sevilla, to sample the best “espinacas con garbanzos” along with a glass of manzanilla sherry. Then on to Modesto so that Alejna could try some “calamares del campo” (aka “land squid” – bit of a private joke). And finally we stopped off at La Sal for some of the best tuna in town…

Today’s Photohunter theme is “twisted”.
These are deep-fried langostines with potato threads twisted around them, at one of my favourite tapas bars in Seville, Bodeguita Romero. Mmmm…

Look what I can do!
Well, me and Picasa.
I had no idea these options existed until someone tweeted about it the other day. I am definitely going to have a LOT of fun with these new toys. This collage is of a lunch with Sara & Steve last week at Becerrita, and of cocktails on the rooftop terrace at the EME hotel afterwards. You can see a couple more examples below…
the cous

Ever since Susan & I went to Morocco in Febuary we have been all about the cous. Though attempts to find couscous as good as we had in Tangier after we got back proved fruitless. We’ve both even tried making it at home and sharing our experiences – as much as possible from across the pond. And so I’m sure she will be a wee bit envious when she sees the gorgeous Moroccan lunch (including couscous!) that Sara treated us to at As-Sawirah yesterday …
