Fortunately I have a husband who doesn’t mind cooking. In fact, he would rather cook a healthy meal at home then go out to eat. Recently he made this fish for dinner.

Jake’s Beer Festival
Last weekend I was able to attend Jake’s Beer Festival with the Lady Crafters. This festival is in its inaugural year. We were lucky because this year it wasn’t too crowded. It is sure to be busier next time when word gets around what a great deal this festival is. For $35 you are able to all-you-can-eat German inspired dishes paired with craft beers. I got to sample numerous beers and the folks at Jake’s were very welcoming to our group. We were given reserved seating and even got a chance to sample some special beers.
Mercado de San Miguel
One of my favorite food places in the world is the Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid. The mercado is what I would call food heaven. After our first visit all I wanted to do is return again and again while we were in Madrid. You can get small samples of anything you can think of Spanish related. We had so much fun going from booth to booth tasting things. We ended up spending a large amount of time at the Vermut (Vermouth) and Sherry tasting booth. It is there that I discovered my new love for Vermouth. Evenings there are fun but crowded. Serious eaters should arrive earlier to avoid the lines.
My favorite was the Vermut tasting. A glass of sweet, dry or semi-sweet vermouth was great with a plate of olives.
It wasn’t until the end of our Madrid stay did I discovered that I liked Sherries as well.
One mustn’t forget desserts as well. There were plenty of those to try.
Pre-race meal
The meal from last night to prepare for this morning’s race. It seems to work out well. I think I will stick with this until I get sick on salmon. A salad with olives, tomatoes and feta was served on the side.
Poor Pineapple
I had high hopes for my pineapple but it is no more. Apparently the abundance of rain was too much for the plant and the pineapple turned yellow. I was going to leave it for a while longer but the pineapple smell was strong. I will try to cut it open tomorrow and see if we can eat what is there.
Until next time….
