A WARM AND SUNNY MANILVA ON TUESDAY;

TUESDAY 16^th/SEPTEMBER 2014.

Little princess ‘Reina’ was dropped off early this morning and so she then has a little nap before we all get up for our breakfast; ‘Chispa’ came calling so we all went for a short walk along to the bank in Calle Mar and then down to the butchers. They are at the moment sat at my feet and playing around in the ‘Chill- Out’ room!

As he was on holiday last week he’s just getting back to normal so I had a ‘Field Day’ -  he had just made some Pork ‘Albondigas’- the local ‘Calves Liver’ was fresh in, the local whole Chickens had just been delivered so I had a large Breast sliced into Escalopes and finally lots of Chicken Wings for Tapas!

All this means that the menus have been rotated; tonight we are having pan-seared Calves Liver with crispy Smoked Bacon and well cooked English Pork Sausages (left over from last night!) together with Potato Cakes (last nights Mashed!) with baby Brussels Sprouts and crushed Carrots & Turnips and not forgetting the Red Wine Onion gravy that I have just added more sautéed Onions too!

See the picture above!

So tomorrow it’s the ‘Chicken Schnitzels’ with Spaghetti ‘Milanaise’ and on Thursday the Meatballs in my famous Tomato salsa with Basmati Rice; fish on Friday and Entrecote steak on Saturday and Brenda has requested Roast Loin of Pork with all the trimmings for our first Sunday ‘Roast’ for a while!!

The weather forecast last night had changed as a large front has stationed its self off the West coast in the Atlantic and that’s what causing all the storms and floods in Northern Spain; we are just about missing any of the wet ‘stuff’ at the moment and the temperatures is still 32 degs today! Still a warm and sunny Manilva!!

On the sports front (sorry Josie!) tonight it’s the opening rounds of the ‘Champions League’ when Liverpool welcome ‘Ludo Razgd?!’(Bulgarian) and Real Madrid host FC Basel – the Real game is on TVE 1 and I will watch the Liverpool match in the office on the large PC via the ‘First Row’ sports channel!

Later after supper we will channel hop and find something to watch; the Blog tomorrow will be published a little later than normal as we out in Marbella shopping and then for spot of lunch at “ La Sala ”in Puerto Banus – it’s the start of my week of celebrations building up to my birthday next Wednesday when we are going to ‘Venta Garcia’! Watch this space for the pictures!!
