Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!



Hope everyone is  doing well!

Paul and I went out to a place called Toros.  It was a tapas restaurant, where you get multiple dishes  of appetizers to eat as a meal.

Here is the menu.

https://www.toro-restaurant.com/menus

We shared the following dishes:


Jam?n Ib?rico - dry-cured Spanish ham made from the hind legs of Black Iberian pigs

Escalivada Catalana - smoked eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, sherry vinegar, that you put on a baguette styled bread

Croquetas de Bacalao - salt cod croquettes, fried lemon, alioli

Croquetas de Txangurro - crab croquettes, smoked tomato alioli, lemon

Patatas Bravas - fried potatoes, alioli, spicy tomato sauce

Costillas - ribs, hot honey mustard, dill pickle spears


I  had a bit of a sleep in today, caught up online, and then drove around for a bit to get familiar with the area.

I went to the arena to get familiar with way there, it was fairly simple.  I will still leave earlier than what I need to, in case of traffic.

I also went shopping to get some lunch, some muffins for breakfast for the next few days, and some garbage bags for the hotel room.

Back at the hotel for a bit, and then will  be meeting Paul for dinner tonight.

Hello friends!

Long day of skating today!   The women were on the ice from 12:00 to 4:45, then a break, and the pairs were on from 6:45 to about 10:15.

In between, I met an old high school friend for dinner, we hadn't seen each other in decades!  It was so much fun to catch up with her!

The skating was great, and it's such an experience to see it live like this!

Wow, it's great to be virtually on a trip with a friend! The tapas sound wonderful. They do such amazing things with ordinary and unusual ingredients. Earlier this month I took my daughter out to a tapas restaurant for her birthday. She's 37 now, can you believe it? I can't.

Yes, it is hard to believe, because when we first started talking, I believe your daughter was in high school. Twenty years, damn.

I believe Chrissi has a son who by now is all growed  up.
