| Crepes and Espresso are very near a requirement, at least weekly, right? |
12 Feb
We walked along the marina in Quarteira today to take a break from driving. Happened by one of the gelado/creperie shops and were driven by some irresistible force that nearly jerked me off my feet pulling me into a chair where, embarrassed, and not wanting to offend, I felt compelled to order at least this. I agreed to the addition of the strawberries for the health benefits.
That evening, Mary Lou found a restaurant on line that specializes in suckling pig. After a nanosecond of consideration, we decided to try it out. Oh yes, it was the right call. Flavorful, tender, moist, perfect. Just as we remember it from a similar experience in Madrid a decade or so ago. The house red was just right, the rice perfectly cooked, the salad delightfully tangy, the waiter attentive and amusing, the decor old world.
It was a relaxing, satisfying day with the added benefit of a culinary adventure.
