SUNDAY 13th/
OCTOBER 2103.
Yet another
sunny and warm day in Manilva with a little cool breeze; this morning we have
been back in the old routine of preparing the Sunday roast, the first in over
nearly 4 months. Roast Chicken with a savory Herb stuffing and a finger licking
pan-gravy; from Brenda’s department we are having Broccoli & Cauliflower
florets in a three –cheese sauce, Cabbage with Alsegas, Carrots and Garden
Peas, Baby New Potatoes and my famous Goose fat Roast Potatoes! Mano and Anna are joining us for supper later; See the
pictures above of this mornings work.
Whilst we
were getting things on the go on TVE2
there was another documentary about chefs, this week it was the Head
Chef in the palace of Prince Albert of Monaco – Christian Garcia who trained
under Alain Ducasse in Paris, its in French but that suits the programme as
they talk about and show the food, it sounds so much more appertising in
French! This week he was preparing a small luncheon in the palace for the
President of France; the inside of the palace as you would expect is lavish and
it showed them setting the table with the royal silver and glass, measuring
each place setting! The meal was a classic high French cuisine-‘ Barbajuans’-
deep-fried Vegetable Ravioli, ‘ Monagasque Cod’ and ‘Saddle of Lamb in a
Provencale crust’ with pickled vegetables!
On the
sports front this weekend Vettel won the Japanese Grand Prix but not yet the
World Championship for the 4th time! Over at the ‘Malaysian Motor GP
Dani Pedrosa won but Marc Marquez increased his lead in the championship with
three race’s to go
Over the
weekend we caught on Friday evening a good film from 1997 “ Kiss the Girls ”
starring Morgan Freeman as Dr,Alex Cross the legendary detective created by
‘James Patterson’ It followed the book but we think that the part should be
played by somebody younger! Ashley Judd
is very good in a gripping s tale right up to the end!
As you can see below the opening of the Museum and park was a bit of an occasion! The Museum has been done very well and of course the park is rather special;the village Brass Band got things on the go,the Mayor unveiled the wall plaque and later the children's play area was full, on the stage there was dancers and singers and all the village celebrities posed for their pictures including me with Diego and Mario in front of the Mosaic Mural depicting us crushing the grapes !!!
