Poker face
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 20 November 2009
Last night I ate at Foster’s Hollywood as it was the only place that appeared to still be open at midnight. It was a bit more expensive than I normally budget for an evening meal but my ‘Director’s Cut’ bacon cheese burger was a nice treat. My good pal Steven dropped me a text while [...]

Do do do, (Pablo) Zabaleta Street

The guy who likes to leave his phone on the street has got another habit (also phone related) which is annoying. He will still be pressing snooze for the alarm he has set an hour and a half after it first went off. Why not just set it to go off later instead of waking [...]

Creativity At Its Best
Blog: Jamón, jamón: Alice's Gastronomic Adventures - 25 March 2009

Sliced Potato With Foie Gras
Blog: Jamón, jamón: Alice's Gastronomic Adventures - 25 March 2009
This was my first encounter with Foie Gras which is made out of the liver of a duck or a goose that has been specially fattened.

My foodie weekend in San Sebastian began at Bar Garbola with this pistachio croqueta. The crunchiness on the outside contrasted with the creamy green inside and the rich pistachio pieces.
