Whilst the octopus stews...

I'm the 48,572,565 richest person on earth! Discover how rich you are! >>

On the stove in a pot, there's an octopus stewing in sherry vinegar, with onions, garlic, thyme and bay. It's starting to relax. (Must be almost done.) I'm going to pull it and throw in some quartered red potatoes. (so much for following the recipe.)

I've a big platter of red and green dandelion greens cooked and arranged. There's artichoke hearts marinading and I just cooked, peeled, and marinaded some fava beans. I feel as if I must fly out and buy more almond oil, which I'm going to pour over the dandelion greens with some jamon serrano and cashews. (I'm using the standard extra virgin olive oil on everything else, but the inherent bitterness, I think, is a bit much for the red dandelion greens.)

I am beginning to hope that no one else brings food to this tapas party.

I'm beginning to be sorry that I'm not going to be there.

Druthers...

Well, if I had my druthers, London and Bermuda seem like quite adequate compensation.

I love almond oil.

I don't cook with it though.

It's..

It's going to be part of the dressing for it... cold.

I had an octopus cerviche at Solera for my birthday last year. Your sounds just as yummy.
