My friends have been known to say that I like to complicate things. I once complained to my husband that there was too much sun coming into the bedroom window which was waking me up earlier than I wanted. I thought long and hard about how to fix this and finally I decided that [...]

This, my friends, is going to be a very short post. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed the lack of any online presence lately… and there’s certainly a reason for my silence. First, my parents are around for another few weeks – and family always takes priority so I am trying to squeeze in as [...]

Very early on Saturday, with my husband still in a deep slumber, I snuck out of bed, put on my thickest pair of socks and tiptoed down to the kitchen. I held my breath as I passed the guest room, fearing that even my breathing would be loud enough to be heard. The wagging [...]

Is it any surprise that my most favourite presents to give (and receive) during Christmas are cookbooks? I consider myself a pretty good judge cookbook character. For example, my brother who is a bachelor loves the four ingredients or less series and his idea of cooking is to buy a chicken, buy a packet of [...]

Today at work we chatted about our favourite pastimes as children. I mentioned that , to pass the time during summers, my siblings and cousins would meet at my grandmother’s place every day. We would swim, watch (music) videos, eat, sleep, fight, swim some more, eat some more and definitely fight some more. Almost like [...]

The other day, as I do every morning, I took my two labradors for a walk. Nothing out of the ordinary except I had overslept and had less time to walk them and get ready for work. I knew I had to rush. So we went to a park that was 10 minutes away and [...]
Food you eat alone… aka Beef with Garlic Chips
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged beef, garlic chips, salpicado, tapas on June 22, 2010 | 55 Comments »
While I do believe that most dishes should be enjoyed in the company of friends and family, there are however, a number of dishes that are sometimes best eaten alone. Sometimes, it’s a secret indulgence that you’d rather not let anyone know about. After my workmate made fun of me eating a Mc Chicken for [...]

Every year, thousands of pilgrims head to the town of Santiago de Compostela where it is believed that the body of St. James is buried. Some people will undertake the pilgrimage as a way of penance, and a way to get closer to God. The pilgrimage can take as little as five days (I was [...]

Tapas, Chorizo, Fried Egg, Jamon Serrano I have to admit things were not going smoothly Saturday morning as my Mum and I prepared breakfast. There was some debate with the Blog Monster as to how this dish was really made. “Jamon.” I said. “Chorizo!” She answered “Jamon!!” I replied “Chorizo! This is what we used [...]

When I was little, I would sometimes tag along with my Mom when she went to work. Work, being her Spanish restaurant. Over the 34 or so years of El Comedor (that means the “Dining Room” which was what the restaurant was called), some of my best memories was when I was allowed inside the [...]
