Adios Amigo's



Its always very strange at the end of August when almost overnight everyone who has come from all over Spain for their holidays return home. The fiestas in the village come to an end and September looms taking us into the Autumn.



As usual and in fine style our neighbours held one big fiesta in their cave for the locals and as is what happens every year we prepare a little something just for them the day before they leave. This time Gayle (as always) excelled in the kitchen by preparing an enormous lasagne. Tapas consisted of foie gras with a muscadet white wine and pequillo peppers with pitted olives.


A good night was had by all, looking forward to the next time in the winter where it will be card games, cognac. and what our neighbours call "the hell" - our woodburner which kicks out quite a bit of heat!



Coming in September:

A Catalan recipe from Barcelona to feed an army
A very red paella from Seville
A mountain of tapas
...and Sangria.

To finish, a slide show of tapas dishes. What a great August it has been.

Thanks for popping into Youtube to see the tapas slide show. It was a good night, we nickname it the last supper - until next year anyway..
