Food, glorious food!

I’ve always loved good food and loved to eat, so it’s no surprise that I look forward to each meal more than ever – it’s satisfying, entertaining, challenging, delicious, and something to do!

At home in the US, I spent many if not most nights eating out with friends.  It was all about finding  great meals at exciting restaurants.  I’ve enjoyed cooking for myself these past months (to a point!) and I’ve made some really good meals, at least for me.  I’m sure some of you have made fancier gourmet meals.  Share them!!

Instead of just taking photos of my food at a restaurant, which I have been known to do when it’s exceptional, I’ve been taking photos of my home-cooked meals.   Self-indulging again, here’s a taste:

  1. all very impressive. i wouldn’t have been as competent in making something so complex. and going to look up the recipe for chicken marbella. that looks very interesting.

  2. Some of that stuff looks really good! I was going to bed, but I may have to make a Dagwood detour in the kitchen.

    Bona nit!

  3. Would it be possible for one of your kids to fly to somewhere else in Europe and take a train to Spain?

    1. There are some other European countries opening in mid June, mid July, but I’ve read there are measures in place to make sure people don’t sneak through one country to another. The most logical country to do that would be France, but I’ve seen an article that says both Spain and France will be opening to Americans as of August 1. That sounds good to me, if true. This was in a travel article though and nothing “official” yet, so we’ll see…but thanks!
