Good weekend, went out on friday with some friends and met a far relative from El Viso del Alcor
that has been in my conversations with friends and family since long time. Odd situation:You don´t know a person but you talk a lot about her and this person does the same, she knew all about my life in Dublin without knowing me!.She is Red Haired, rich, flamenco singer, intelligent, single.
Food at Jabalón:
Toasted bread with olive oil, rubbed garlic, cured ham, fried quail eggs, cutted in a way where you had an egg per portion.
Fried marinated anchovies.
Veal,Ham, cheese and egg breaded and fried rolls-Flamenquin-.
Ribera del Duero.
Two gin & tonics, one at Nuevo Subasta-One of my favourite places in Seville- and the other one at Groucho, the trendy-for-posh-people in town.
Then went back home walking La Palmera -30 minutes- listening to my iPod enjoying the smell of spring in a warm night, at four in the morning.
Saturday watched 30 Rock, had a gin & tonic at Jamaica with friends before the Betis-Barcelona match, almost got a ticket but in a trick of destiny it was LOST-a season ticket-...I like the pre-match atmosphere, traffic jam, police sirens, smell of police horse droppings, hashish cigarettes, sweetness of rum and coke-the weapon of choice of a lot of people now in Spain, not 4 years ago, it´s good at least it is Cuban, Venezuelan, Dominican, Colombian even Spanish rum-Todo queda en casa-, the tanned people from the countryside just down from their buses, the tacky people. Afterwards had Jamón cravings so I went to the supermarket and bought Asturian Cider-I really like it-, bread, Jamón and an Olive Oil pack of crisps. Consumed it all at home listening to my iPod, didn´t want to go out.
Sunday went to the country house, collected ripe lemons for breakfast during the week, mint, thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, lemon and orange leaves. Mother gave me strawberries and tomatoes.

Found the Google Book search tool, really interesting to find old scanned books.
