happy toes

DO NOT ZOOM IN. It was 28º yesterday and there was no fucking way I was going to put tights and shoes on, but there was also no fucking way I was going to go out without happy toes! So this was the fastest slap-dash pedi of all time, literally slapped on some polish five minutes before walking out the door, hence the messy outcome. But who cares, nobody should be looking that closely at my feet anyhow. And omg it felt wonderful to have free wiggly toes again and bare legs under my skirt (pic was taken when I was still in the house Pjs). How’s the weather where you are?

heather eric

Twitter strikes again. Though this time is was more of an indirect hit as Heather and Eric are old friends of my neighbour Robert Warnock @warnock.robert and they got in touch through him about a tapas tour. I was booked already for the week, or as booked as I can be right now, but we decided to just meet up for a quick beer and a tapa… which then morphed into a lovely lunch. And with Robert joining us! I’ve known Robert via social media for at least a couple of years, recently finding out that we live about 10 minutes away from each other, and he is even one of my Patreons (helping to keep my Sevilla Tapas website going)… and yet we had still never met until now. So what a great time, and so nice to have finally met Robert in person.

ceviche workshop

I’ve had worse Mondays! 😉  Today I was invited to a ceviche workshop held by my friend Eva @flamencakitchen and featuring another friend, Peruvian chef Danny Cárdenas @dannycardenasmunoz and his fabulous teams from Lima Street Food and Raíces. Eva’s @elsurdelasestrellas, which she runs with sponsor partner @cervezasvictoria, highlights and promotes chefs from the south of Spain. The venue @platea_odeon is located on the top floor of the old Córdoba train station in Plaza de Armas and, as you can see, it’s quite spectacular.

Eva’s events always offer something a bit different, and this time we got to watch Danny show us how to make two types of ceviche, and then have his cocktail expert demonstrate how to make the perfect pisco sour. And then it was time to eat. Ceviche clásico, causita de pollo, maki acevichado, chicharrón de pancheta and lemon pie for dessert. Delicious fun and also a chance to catch up with friends.

they’re going up!

covid, semana santa, sevilla

bleachers

For the first time since 2019 they’re putting up the bleachers for Semana Santa in Plaza San Francisco. I actually have a couple of lunchtime tapas tours booked that week and will take a cautious look around a few of the processions (I know the routes and how to avoid the crowds). It’s concerning that governments are cutting back on testing, artificially forcing Covid “numbers” down simply by ignoring them. And you hear very little any more about Covid in the media. I keep doing rapid tests once a week and also keep hoping Spain won’t revoke the mask mandate for indoor public places. Lots of mixed feelings about things returning to “normal”.

soup time

After nothing but toast and broth since Sunday l decided to go for something a bit more substantial. Potato, onion, cauliflower and broccoli purée with pan cristal croutons. Soothing. Am feeling better today and so far the tests are still negative. 🤞
