Day three in Madrid

- Breakfast: Same hotel spread as above

- Lunch: Delicious rotisserie chicken from an Asturian Cider House called Casa Mingo plus a beer and bread.

On my way out to dinner in a little

Roasted vegetables and chicken, heavy on the garlic.

Now I can add dinner: Scotch, pepper salad with tuna (hand mixed at the table), veal cheek with creamed potatoes and bread. Mmm. Nice way to wrap up my Madrid trip.

Today ... it may be -5 for some of today but we still can have a Greek Taverna


:)

Twice cooked lamb shanks (.... sous vide and baked finished.....) with some rosemary gravy and my very famous mash .... (doesn't that gravy glisten ...) followed by the last of my bottles of port and some cheese and hobnobs .....

Happy New Year to all and some new exciting 2015 eats ....

That last picture looks really lovely.

Add a gallon of raita and I'd be set!

As for today's meals:

Caracas

-Orange Gatorade
-Passion fruit juice with pabellón criollo
-Orange juice
-Orange juice (OD'd today)
-Arepa with queso paisa
-Later, avocado salad and a corn flour snack that starts with an "h" with roasted chicken

Actually when I normally do it, it comes out as an upside down cake, but this time, I couldn't get the button to uncrack so had to take it off manually.


Was going to serve it with yogurt and cucs, but decided with the chopped salad instead.

Rice is my forte, this one the grains expanded to 3 times their normal size and where as light as feather.

Breakfast: Bowl of cereal

Lunch: At Cameron Bar and Grill in Raleigh. Appetizer of goat cheese and crab dip with toast points, main of Reuben sandwich and sweet potato fries. They made the Reuben too fancy though, it had some weird greens on it and they used brisket instead of corned beef, boo. Went to Insomnia Cookies afterward for a Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Milk.
