dodging the rain drops
06 Thursday Mar 2025
What a week. I had so much research planned for my next Substack article on local markets, which meant visiting some further-out markets I hadn’t been to for a while, plus one I have never visited. BUT the forecast was (and still is) for pretty much non-stop rain for at least the next ten days or so. And as we all know, walking with crutches AND an umbrella is basically impossible.
But… it’s turned out that other than on Wednesday the rain has mostly been happening from mid-late afternoon until morning, leaving midday free for me to get out there. And so I have been, wielding my old lady bus pass (I’m really getting to know the bus routes around here). Just a couple more markets to visit to finish up. Here’s a pic of the clouds heading back in as I hobbled home today.

Lent in Sevilla means MUCHO bacalao.
Not much of a sacrifice if you ask me…
tapas vs pintxos
04 Tuesday Mar 2025
So I’ve had a couple of guest writers on my Substack (HAVE I MENTIONED I HAVE A SUBSTACK???) such as Paul writing about Jazz in Sevilla and Alexis giving us tips on how to buy olive oil in Sevilla, but this is the first time I’ve done a full-on collab. And of course it had to be with my pal Jeffrey XtremeFoodies, who is also my substack twin (we started there at the same time). The topic, as you can see, is Tapas vs Pintxos.
Jeffrey was Team Pintxo (San Sebastián) and I was Team Tapas (Sevilla) and it was, as they say, an EXPERIENCE. We are both really pleased with the end result and we also learned a lot along the way. And I think we also got to know each other a bit better, always nice. So there will be more collabs in the future, but for now please enjoy this one. And don’t forget to give it a Like, or even a Share, and if you really liked it please consider becoming a (free or paid) subscriber…

Yesterday was Peter’s birthday and I asked him what he wanted to do and he said what he wanted to do was stay home. Fair enough. Sundays are always so busy at bars and restaurants and it was off and on rainy, so I opened up this lovely cava left over from my birthday in January and then made a nice comfort food meal (cheesy roasties, little gems with caesar dressing, perfect fried eggs) and that was that. I mean, he is getting OLD. 😉
