Local Woman Finds “GOD” in Eggplant
Felicia Teske and her husband put aside that slice of eggplant. But with the rest of it they had for dinner, which they say was simply divine.
Not much more to say, is there?

Yikes – it’s another blog!!!
As many of you know, about a year or so ago I started a page here called sevilla tapas which included short write-ups on some of my favourite restaurants and tapa bars that also linked to photos on my Fotki page.
This morning I was adding to and reorganising the Fotki tapitas album and I got to thinking that it might be more interesting to have everything together. So what I’ve done is start a new blog that is set up so that each restaurant and tapa bar has its own category. You can click on the drop-down widget on the right and find all posts relating to a particular place there. Each place will have at least two posts to start with – one with general information and the other will be for photos.
I’ve only got one category finished so far (for Modesto Restaurante) if you want to check it out and let me know what you think. I’m planning to write a longer ‘review’ for each place – the one there for Modesto at the moment was just taken from the page here to use as a temporary example.
The link below will take you to the welcome page. On the sidebar widget look under Restaurant and Tapa Bar Categories for Modesto and check out the posts. Each post has a link to the other.

So I bought some of these . . .
Any ideas as to what I should do with them, other than just grill them with olive oil, lots of thinly sliced garlic and a bit of parsley?

It’s August 1st and I am officially ‘on holiday’.
No classes until September. Yay! Well okay, no income either, but I’ve been looking forward to this stretch of time ahead of me not having to be anywhere or do anything unless I feel like it. It will especially be nice not to be woken up by alarm clocks (well, other than the pointy-eared variety).
When I asked earlier about what summer stuff everyone was planning to do I still hadn’t made any major plans, and then I realised that what I wanted most was a month totally without plans. So there. 🙂
Well, there are a few things I want to do like go to the gym in the mornings and do some stuff around the apartment. But mostly I reckon I’ll be reading and hanging out online (hence that particular thumbnail), taking evening walks with Nog, going out for our *emergency cold beer and air-conditioning sessions* and the occasional tapa, and also watching films and playing with floppy cats who – I am very happy to report – appear to be friends again. They’ve even started playing fighting again, with no pee in sight, which to me is even more of a sign of them being pals again than falling asleep together.
For awhile it looked like a recent bad back incident (comment 19) had put the kibosh on my gym idea, but after a couple days of anti-inflammatories, gentle stretching and lots of walking I think I’ll be able to start back mañana.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has pretty much turned into a ghost town already, which is always a pleasant change of pace.
So all in all, August should be a nice month for carping the diem.
How’s your summer been so far?

It’s been over a year since the last ‘popcorn mule’ came to town
(as far as I know, it can only be bought in Canada & the US)
