A fabulous day out with my fabulous We Love Tapas team Nell and Elena. I was showing them the route for our Tasting Triana Tour and so of course they also had to taste EVERYTHING (seen hear sampling the fried quail at Casa Ruperto). Next week it’s Sherry Class!

It’s also Blue Monday but I don’t believe in that.
This is way more fun (and tasty!).
What’s your favourite croqueta?

Crossing the bridge to Triana the other day these curious “tornado” clouds caught my eye. I tried to get a bit closer but there was too much traffic on the bridge. But you can see them bottom left hand corner. When I posted this photo on Twitter I was told that these are called cirrus clouds and are made of ice! (fuck I still love Twitter). Anyhow, aren’t they cool?

This week I started doing English conversation zoom classes with my winemaking friend Vicente, who lives in Málaga. He had first asked about this in December because he and his wife Ana (also a winemaker) don’t get much opportunity to practice their English. And it’s great! I don’t have the pro version of zoom so we are limited to 40 minutes, but that’s actually a good amount of time just for chatting. It would be great to get a few more of these classes happening, just need to get the word out there.

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!
