You're going to start gobbling...

Yes that is true. I love turkey.

Yesterdays linner. Which we were lucky to get!
The prawns were enormous and had to be bought. The avocados were perfect.

Basic but delicious.
Presentation went out of the window owing to us helping the Spanish drink up the beers before they all became warm during the power cut

What's the sauce please?

What's the sauce please?

I have limited pantry items in my pannier so it was salt, pepper, garlic, a pinch of paprika and some mayo

It worked well because the pawns were nothing short of amazing!

A simple cucumber, avocado, tomatoes and lemon salad

Thank you! I picked up some seafood recently so I'll try that.

It's nice if you want the flavour of the seafood to come through rather than have to fight a rose marie sauce for dominance. If I had the room I would have a bought a lemon, a tinsy squeeze would have been nice .

A cheery up treat. Fillet steak (bargain at €15.99 a kilo) with oyster n shiitake mushrooms and some epic garlic all cooked in an enormous amount of butter

Asked the butcher counter for one big piece of steak and cut it in half after cooking, more rare meat and less edge for both of us! The garlic was particularly lovely.

I also like the addition of rosemary I picked on the way back. They seem to be rosemary mad in this town, it's everywhere!

Rosemary is planted as an ornament around here so buying it dried is silly. Pull over and pick!
