Just to say how goddam lucky I am to be working with these three amazing young women. They are smart, intelligent, hard-working, dedicated…
This is after our sherry class last Sunday. All of them talking more about wines, our tours, new ideas. Love them.

When my fabulous We Love Tapas team showed an interest in learning more about sherry I was thrilled to oblige, and of course we did it in proper WLT style. I’ll write more about it soon on the WLT blog, but for now here is a collage of what we ate and drank. Five sherries from five different bodegas and perfectly paired dishes with each wine. And we prepared all the food ourselves, other than the amazing deep dark flourless chocolate cake by Gollerias. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Friday’s lunch… exquisite trad food from the Basque country, including 12-year-old Portuguese beef (look away now Sled!). I was invited a bit last minute, but I’m glad I went because I met some very interesting people and basically had a great time. This was part of a promotion by Sagardi, who have just opened a bar and restaurant in the new Hotel Palacio Pinello. I’ll be back soon to check out the pintxos.

I’ve never understood those people who don’t like Mondays…

As much as I enjoy the ease of getting up and dressed on summer mornings, slipping out of a loose nightdress and into a light cotton house dress, there’s something nice about snuggling up under a quilt (with cats). Also, I REALLY love this quilt. This is still pre-duvet weather, which means I am still in sandals (yay!) and comfy in a light t-shirt and yoga pants at home. But soon I’ll be all bundled up inside, like a good Sevillana.
What’s the weather doing where you are?
