Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Yotams Sunday lunch chicken (white wine, garlic, black garlic, lemon, double cream and capers) with butter garlic mushrooms, cooked separately and added at the end so they retain a strong independent garlic butter flavour. And Mary Berry’s Lemon Curd roulade, the homemade lemon curd is amazing using Spains gorgeously zingy lemons. Renamed it Meringasaurus as the eggs were super sized and puffed up to a giant 40 x 30 cm slab, rolled nicely though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 They still haven’t opened the bloody pool, everyone agreed it would open beginning of June and close end of September but it’s Spain so the maintenance guys just went - you residents can agree whatever you like and we will continue to do whatever we like. I have a grudging respect for that attitude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoy when at home in the uk and things get fraught saying “let’s go Spanish on it” and Mr Slowly will just shrug and say alright then and everything chills out. Being here reminds you can stay laid back at home too. Only downside is everyone else seems so feckin uptight 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 My shengen area app calculator says I can stay 33 more days straight before breaching the 180 rule. It shoots back up to 90 days 1st of Oct I’ve totted up my visits since last October and I have done 101 days this time. I’m pretty pleased with that. I thought the flat buying was going to interfere and it has a lot but I managed more than I thought I would. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastated more like, offered to put me touch with a dodgy dude for a Spanish passport. Although that could be to ensure I'm caught and permanently deported 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Made enough Kedgeree for breakfast yesterday to have it again today. Did extra eggs for re-topping when the first layer was gone. Had fresh turmeric which is rarely available but makes such a difference, ground is fine but fresh is a much nicer. Used a different recipe that I regretted. Spent a lot of time amending it to get the flavour right, then it turned into one of my best yet and because I tweaked it so many times I don’t think I can replicate it heyho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
