NOT my fault! Paul came to town so there HAD to be one more Birthday Lunch.
La Chunga didn’t disappoint, Great afternoon.

What the heck. It’s still January! So Mar and I went out to celebrate my on-going birthday, this time at El Cuelgue, a new spot that just opened up a couple of months ago. We were the first to arrive and the last to leave (even chef Santi left before we did!) and had a fun and delicious time.

And the birthday deliciousness continues! Met up yesterday with the lovely Reyes Morales for yet another birthday lunch (well, why not, eh?) Reyes had never been to Lalola and I was long overdue another visit so it was a perfect choice. My friend Javier Abascal is chef and owner of Lalola and is known as El Rey de la Casquería (the King of Offal – sounds better in Spanish) with a seasonal menu that features almost every part of our beloved Ibérico pig. We opted for the Ibérico Tasting Menu and it did not disappoint. But mostly it was just so great to have a solid three hours just catching up and chatting with Reyes… about absolutely everything. Sure, we see each other all the time at her bar, but I always love it when we can get some “girl time” together.
The food was fabulous, service was great, and Javi kept popping over to make sure we were happy. Check it out.

I finally caved and bought some accessories for The Storm Cooker. The problem has been that they always come in packs and most (okay all) have things I don’t need or want. This is the closest assortment I found that had most of what I wanted (though my air fryer already came with a skewer rack, so now I have two) and as it’s the January Sales I got a good price. ALSO… my oven started acting up over Christmas, blowing the fuse box when I tried to use it, so for now I am more reliant on the air fryer than before. Now I can cook things with sauces, etc. Have missed my oven over the winter though. Hoping it’s just an internal fuse or something else simple, but for now that repair will have to wait until I get back to work. Anyhow by March it’ll be too warm to use the oven, so might hold off until after the summer. Meanwhile, going to have some fun with these guys.
