Spanish fare

One thing I absolutely love about foreign bars is that you often get presented with some nibbles even when just having a couple of beers. Today on going for a few drinks along the beach we got some tasty patatas bravas at one bar, then at another lovely little place we had a small dish of paella which tasted absolutely amazing sitting in the sun with some ice cold beer. If there's something that English bars need to inherit it would be this. A bowl of salty nuts don't quite cut the mustard though.

For lunch we had some tradional Spanish fare, chorizo, bread and cheese with a very cheap (around£1.50) and tasty bottle of vino tinto, all enjoyed whilst sitting on the warm balcony - heavenly!!

For dinner we decided to make ourselves another Spanish treat, chorizo and pasta. Mr P made a wonderous sauce consisting of passata, red wine, courgette, a hugely odd-shaped red pepper which was delicious, and chorizo, was yum yum yum. Its a meal we often make at home but for some reason it tastes a million times better in Spain with the delicious fresh produce and the heat from a day in the sun still warm on your back.

Mussel pasta... and a snotty nose

They say starve a fever, feed a cold and as I've now got a dreadful cold and am feeling very sorry for myself I am going to gorge myself on lots of lovely food over the next few days... I better not have this cold on my holiday.

Anyway, enough moaning, for dinner yesterday Mr P and I did a joint effort and cooked up a mussel pasta thing. It basically consisted of mussel meat, chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, courgettes, chilli, cream and linguine. It was very nice indeed.

Oh and also, this week for breakfast I have been having Oats and More which I have realised it so so nice. I love breakfast time, food always tastes so good because my taste-buds have been starved overnight.
