Just spent a lovely afternoon with Lizzie @hollowlegs and James @pizzapilgrims who arrived in Sevilla from London this morning and were clearly in need of some tapas. Specifically some jamón Ibérico and manzanilla sherry… for starters. I’ve been “twitter pals” with Lizzie for awhile, so I was very happy to finally meet her in person and give her and James an introduction to Sevilla and tapas. And hey – I had a great time too! Love meeting new people, especially those who are interested in the whole food and culture thing, knowing that one doesn’t exist without the other.

I wasn’t sure how the afternoon would go, but starting off with excellent jamón is always a good move. In the end we went to four tapas bars – three traditional and one modern – and I lurched home around 5 o’clock after leaving Lizzie and James at the Mushrooms to enjoy the views from above, and possibly another drink. Man, I love twitter.

cancer, friends, health, tapas

pilarsHere are Pilar and Pilar, mother (75) and daughter (46)…

Some of you may remember Pilar (daughter) as one-third of my amazing Nuclear Medicine team and the friend who once very generously gave me a month while I was recovering from chemo. These days Pilar isn’t doing so well as her lupus has returned big time and she has had to take another leave from work, but she was finally feeling well enough to meet for lunch today. And mama Pilar is presently enjoying being in remission after cancer treatment this past year. So when we raised our glasses and said “salud” it suddenly struck us all that this had extra meaning for us and gave the day an extra special feeling.

janet mendel
Twenty years ago, just after I moved to Sevilla, I was given this copy of Janet Mendel’s fabulous Cooking in Spain. It’s covered in food stains and has a good number of pages marked with colourful paper clips – basically a well-used and well-loved book.

Twenty years ago I never would have imagined that twenty years later Janet Mendel herself would be sitting in my livingroom autographing this book for me.
