bday mar-001

What the heck. It’s still January! So Mar and I went out to celebrate my on-going birthday, this time at El Cuelgue, a new spot that just opened up a couple of months ago. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave (even chef Santi left before we did!) and had a fun and delicious time.

reyes and shawn

And the birthday deliciousness continues! Met up yesterday with the lovely Reyes Morales for yet another birthday lunch (well, why not, eh?) Reyes had never been to Lalola and I was long overdue another visit so it was a perfect choice. My friend Javier Abascal is chef and owner of Lalola and is known as El Rey de la Casquería (the King of Offal – sounds better in Spanish) with a seasonal menu that features almost every part of our beloved Ibérico pig. We opted for the Ibérico Tasting Menu and it did not disappoint. But mostly it was just so great to have a solid three hours just catching up and chatting with Reyes… about absolutely everything. Sure, we see each other all the time at her bar, but I always love it when we can get some “girl time” together.

The food was fabulous, service was great, and Javi kept popping over to make sure we were happy. Check it out.

more birthday (1)

Lucy’s (@sparkybakewell) birthday is the day after mine and we like to get together to celebrate that because, why the hell not? Well today was the day so we met up at Triana market with no plan in mind, but Lucy kept saying “I just want some really nice fizz”… so while we were walking to our first possible destination we passed by El Mercader de Triana and I said “Victor has gotta have some fizz in there” and in we went. And sure enough he did. The idea was just to have a glass there and move on, but in the end one thing led to another we had our whole lunch there. And it was fabulous. I LOVE Birthday Week. Thanks Lucy!

mar

Back in early October I was sitting at a bar (for a change) in Triana with my friend Lucy and we started chatting with a woman sitting next to us. It turned out she “knew” me from Instagram and so we decided that one day we’d meet up and do some Tapas Research together. Well, what with me getting sick immediately afterwards (gastroenteritis and then covid) and with Mar travelling and then getting sick herself we finally managed to get together today. Met up at La Cayetana and enjoyed a long and very chatty lunch. Mar has a wonderful Instagram account full of great photos and stories about Sevilla. Check it out… @Lost-In-Seville.

Plans are afoot to do have more regular research lunches and maybe also some cultural walks. I reckon between the two of us we know practically EVERYTHING about Sevilla so we can educate each other and have fun too.

latkes

One of the many many many things I love about Twitter is that I have met so many amazing people there, and have ended up meeting several of them in person too. One of those is Edward Schneider, food & travel writer for the NY Times and other top publications, who I met through another friend I’d first met on Twitter. Edward was here a few years ago with his wife and a friend and we met up for drinks… and then they invited me out for dinner! Well, we’ve stayed in touch since then on Twitter and the other day he posted a photo of some latkes he’d just made. So I asked him for his recipe and he very generously posted it. And now I am about to make latkes for the first time! Stay tuned…
