Not only is this beauty, well, beautiful, it is also the most luscious, sweet and delicous tomato I have ever eaten. Cut into chunks, with a drizzle of extra virgen olive oil and some maldon salt flakes and… heaven. Going to look for more at the market this weekend.

Sadly it looks like I won’t be making it to this year’s Caracolia festival, one of the three annual outdoor food festivals I mentioned here the other day. Turns out two of the three days I have sherry tastings booked at midday (yay! work!) but this also means I will be too exhausted to go out again in the evening.
These days I can usually only manage to get out once a day, and it’s usually in the early afternoon. After that I just run out of steam. It’s just too physically hard and painful to drag myself around on the crutches for any extended time. Which makes me feel a bit nervous about my Málaga-Marbella trip next week but at least I’ll have friends helping.
I really miss my old life, when I could go out any old time. And you know… WALK. Also this is the first time I’ll be missing one of the Festivales Gastronómicos since they began three years ago. Dammit.

I just can’t brunch. Sorry. Yesterday my friends at La Azotea invited me and Peter to try their brand new Sunday brunch menu and I had to check to see what was the latest time we could arrive. Which was shortly after noon. Still a bit early but what the heck. And it really was lovely, just a lot of food to consider so early in the day.
It’s a set menu with a choice of three egg dishes (we tried two of the three – benedict and Ibérico). All of it was delicious. And one bonus with having the midday meal finish earlier than usual was that I actually got a lot of extra work done after getting home. Also went to bed earlier. Don’t think it will become a habit though.
