Two Foodies

Alot of you have asked me about the food in Spain.I love this question because both Debbie and I are foodies.We love to eat and will pretty much try anything.I am so looking forward to the paprika spiced pulpo (octopus) served on a wooden platter,washed down by cloudy Ribeiro wine, in Melida.Just writing this makes me salivate!! LOL
The food will change as we amble through the mountains toward the Atlantic ocean.Spaniards are typically not morning people...they are night owls.Breakfast is not a big deal to them.They are big on family and friends.They typically meet @ restaurants between 1pm and 4pm to enjoy food and the good company of their family & friends.You will often see whole families out late enjoying Tapas and concerts.Hence,the much needed siesta!!!I think naps are SO under rated!
As I write this I am enjoying the aroma's of Julia Child' s Beef Bourguignon.On top of walking almost 9 miles today I decided to cook! I am looking forward to bringing back some great recipes and cooking for everyone who will take the risk!!
There is nothing more enjoyable and rewarding than making dinner for family & friends!! So....all you foodies know that I will keep you up to date on what we eat and I will explain in great detail how wonderful it is.
We also plan to take a 15 Tapas/pub crawl in Madrid......I'll need to walk 17 miles a day!! LOL Lisa
