Just a quick update to explain why I won't be spending much time on LJ for the next few days.

therealjae is visiting, and we're having a lovely time. Unsurprisingly, we're spending a great deal of time in the kitchen together - today we made tapas, which I will eventually describe in a food_porn post. In the meantime, I've posted a picture.



We had: a garlicky wild mushroom saute, lamb meatballs, shrimp and clams in broth, manchego cheese, mixed olives, and rosemary sourdough bread. We intended to also make phyllo-wrapped gorgonzola cheese bites with a sherry dipping sauce, and crepes for dessert, but our reach exceeded our grasp by quite a bit. (There was a lot of food.)

So all is well, and you'll be hearing more from me after therealjae leaves on Wednesday morning.

That's exactly where these recipes come from. Except that the phyllo-wrapped gorgonzola was originally supposed to be Cabrales, in the recipe. But yeah, the moment that all-Spain issue of Food and Wine arrived, I was plotting to make tapas with therealjae.

I'm just waiting to be *home* long enough to shop and cook. I did manage to make the cauliflower dish with the Manchego and almonds. Wonderful! But I really want to do tapas.

i'm no cook, but we could try when you visit, she hinted, not at all delicately....
