So hey, I finally crept up over the 12K mark on Instagram (seems like I was stuck at 11.9K forever). I do wish there was an alternative as I’d like to “un-meta” myself, but for now it’s still “good for business”. Anyhow, thank you followers! Meanwhile, those tapas don’t pay for themselves, so if you’d like to make a small contribution (always appreciated) here’s the Tip Jar.

So I finally got to spend time with Debbie Love Love! We’ve known each other online for years, and have briefly met up twice at two of our mutual friend Jeanine’s (then) bars, but we never really had a chance to sit down and talk until now. A lunch date was set and it HAD to be at Barra Baja in “our corner” at the bar – by chance both Debbie and I have adopted the end of the bar at BB as “ours”, so this time we shared.
Debbie’s is in the process of ending one chapter of her life and beginning a new one, closing her business Cookie Love Love after 11 years. She is still unsure about what lies ahead but I am sure she’s going to find her new passion before too long. We had a great time talking non-stop for ages and it was great getting to know each other a bit.
Anyhow… lunch. You guessed it…

It went on a while, ending with a penúlitima at another favourite place, Bar Rioja La Esquina, where we were joined by Jeanine. A good day.

The other day Hannah got in touch. She’s an American who has been living in Santiago de Compostela and is now spending the winter in Cádiz. She found me on Instagram (her account is called A Hungry Pilgrim) and told me she’d like to meet up. So that’s what we did. First stop was Manolo Cateca for a bit of sherry and then a shortish hobble later we were at Zurbarán. And before we knew it Zurbarán was preparing to close up… time just flew! Anyhow, lovely to meet another food-obsessed pal and hopefully we’ll be seeing each other again, either around Cádiz, here or even in Santiago.
