Well okay, it’s actually her birthday tomorrow, April 7th, but as this is Caturday we’re starting the celebrations a day early. It’s hard to believe this still kittenish girl is 11 (she can now officially be switched to “senior cat food” along with Luna). Every day I’m so happy to have her in my life.
Happy birthday darling girl! 
Morcilla shares her birthday with my beloved Azar, born 18 years apart.

Birthday Week is in full swing with a few nice meals planned with friends, but this one I must say was especially fabulous. I had seen a post on Instagram about Restaurante La Sal offering a new Tuna & Sherry tasting menu and I just knew I had to try it. And so did my friend Reyes! So we popped over this week and Charo took wonderful care of us. The menu is below, along with translations. But if you’d like to see close ups of the dishes have a look at my Instagram post.

What a day! Went to the 6th Cuatrogatos Wine Fest in El Puerto de Santa María, which was kind of my birthday present to Peter. I say “kind of” because, although he likes wine he cannot cope with a lot of it. But as this birthday present also included a trip back to El Puerto (after far too long) and lunch overlooking the Cádiz bay it worked out for both of us. I got to check in with a lot of winemaking friends I haven’t seen in ages and it was a lovely day trip for Peter too. We started off with breakfast at a totally traditional bar next to the central market that neither of us had been to before. Then a taxi out to the Hotel Puerto Sherry, which was also somewhere we’d never been to. Anyhow, this was the view from our table at lunchtime, a beautiful moody winter sky. Good times.
