Looong work day. But instead of crashing though we both wanted to, me and my other fellow no-more-work-socializing (honestly, by the end of today, what with almost all day yesterday being around each other, it was getting a little too much circular energy) ended up walking around town, desultorily shopping, grabbing a drink in a patio cafe, then ambling and talking about NONwork stuff. Stopped at a place and got a bunch of tapas/small plates: canutillos puerros (think tempura-but crisper strips of leek and possible a cheese with a blueberry sauce) raviolis wrapped in zucchini and jamon and fish croquets (for her,) toasta pork solomillo with tomato and brie and grilled asparagus wrapped in jamon iberico. Just right.

And now I'm chilling. One more day, then I'm pure solo. Rooms are booked.

Hope this football game ends soon. It's noisy with door to the balcony open.

not your mom's socks.

She switched fandoms, didn't she?

yup. Does anyone need a Hello! Kitty toaster? (the working one)

Obviously, she needs crossover fic.

oh, my brain. No way I can re-watch Professor McGonagall's transformation without laughing now...

Ham, Amy. But really good Spanish ham. Jamon Iberico is the really high-end stuff that you can't even get in the US, I think.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

jamon = ham

NOT THAT I AM IN SPAIN TO VERIFY THIS KNOWLEDGE. hrrrrmph.

I am seriously going to try grilling/saute-ing leeks and fresh blueberries and dumping them over salad greens. Never a combo I would have put together, but it so works.

Swear to god, pretty much all of the budget is food and I'm really not a foodie, nor am I going extravagant. It's just that my spanish food spanish (as opposed to mexican) is so random, I just take suggestions or randomly pick based on "not fish?" and one ingredient I like. Worked so far.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ham is my first response.

my second response: what Michael Jackson shouted in "Bad."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
