Look at this shit. The tacky brass with black marble is bad enough, but they actually had the gall to name this place La Jugetería (after the Juguetería F. Cuevas, which occupied this building for 65 years). They might have considered keeping the wonderful original tile work. Shame.

What a lovely (it’s never too late! 😉 ) birthday present from Anne. A book with recipes by several top UK chefs that include their choices for sherry pairings. I think this is now out of print – it was first published in 2007, coincidentally the same year I started Sevilla Tapas – but Anne found it on her last visit to the UK and thought I’d like it. Thanks so much sweetie! ❤

Anne & Paul were back in town this week. Anne was here to get a gamma ray scan and so, with all the radiation tests I’ve been getting lately, she suggested we light up the town together. So we went out for tapitas and sherry and had a lovely time. Our next get together will probably be in Jerez in May, either for the Feria or Vinoble. Or both!

Yay! I got my copy of the March issue of Decanter today. I’d seen the online version of My Top Ten online a couple of weeks ago, but it never quite feels real until I’m actually holding the mag in my hot little hands. This is my third article for Decanter Magazine and, as of last week, a fourth one is on the way! Stay tuned…

I’d never heard the Mumford & Son version before today.
Can’t decide which one I like better.
