How about the other extreme?....a not so filling dinner.

Had to work late for setting up equipment for an out-of-office presentation.

All I could catch from the buffet was some pita chips and pimento cheese, and a couple of very nice aged gouda slices with crackers and queen size stuffed olives. They ran out of wine, so I had what was left of the last bottle of wine spritzer to drink.

It wasn't that bad, but MAN!, was I hungry this morning.

Tonight it is pasta with butternut squash in a tomato sauce with a salad on the side

Home made vegetable beef soup.

Tonight my dinner will consist of 3 cheddar brats.


I'm healthy like that.

Home-made cottage pie with cheese top, peas and gravy.

My home made shepherds pie is one that the kids keep asking for, but getting lamb here is a bit difficult so it usually ends up as more of a cottage pie.

Sheep was very popular here until WW2 and it was about the only meat you could get during the war, after the war people were sick of it, so it died out with the consequence that lamb and mutton is very expensive now and very few people want it.

Same here mate. I�ve seen skanky, fatty, bony, lamb chops sell for up to 14 euros a kilo

Anyway, for tea last night I decided that, as I normally eat quite healthy stuff, I�d go to the local kebab cafe 50 metres from the house. And the food is actually quite good (for a seaside cafe) Ordered a plate of mixed kebab, chips, salad. It looks like sh1t, but it tastes brilliant with garlic and chilli sauce
Oh, and beer
Notice how I made an effort to match the tablecloth with my shirt

Waiting patiently....


It arrived....


So did my daughter...

Great pics Stewie! I know you are in Spain but that photo of you could have easily passed for Miami.

It�s my age, isn�t it! That�s what you�re saying, my age. how age-ist are you! FFS!
Just kidding bro

I don�t know how Nikki did it but she managed to take a photo with no-one else in it The place was really bustling yesterday, and today. It�s a great little seaside town, full of tourists at the moment.

No sun either. Sometimes taht�sd a GOOOOOD thang

Yer lookin good Stewie, it's been almost 13 years since I seen you last

I'll pass on the kebab thanks but it looks fine, here the popular thing is a kapsalon: kebab meat sauce of your choice, chips, topped with cheese and then stuck in the pizza oven for a few minutes, then topped off with a salad, really tasty and after the first one I make them at home now too

weather here is a balmy 31c - feckin hot!

Tomorrow evening it is BBQ at a friends place and I'm really looking forward to going there.

I'd be curious to know what a typical Belgian BBQ is like.

LOL, thanks AC, 13 years? Was that the pic in my kitchen, with a pint of vodka and coke? Taken just after a gig?
sheesh, feels like 20 All me shaggy blonde hair, the rock star look ;), is now shaggy grey and white hair, heheh.

Yeah, cheesy chips!! love em .

If there�s any unusual-ish food at the BBQ, take pics.

Great minds, PM. Great minds

Yep that's the one Stewie, Pint of cola

Don't think there will be anything out the ordinary, Jos and Elly are cooking, this is a kind of annual thing we do rotating between the different couples houses.

I'll take pics if I'm still sober...

You guys are cracking me up! Nice pics all around.


Yup, I look in the mirror and see this baldheaded old man with a greying goatee looking back at me. WTF? That's not me! I'm trapped in this old fart's body, right arm recovering from tennis elbow, left shoulder sore with a little arthritis (I assume). Little aches and pains when I get up in the morning, until I move around a little. Geeez.

I just keep reminding myself, it could be worse.

No bruther, thats me!

The best pics, AC, are when you are NOT sober

What a lousy place. They didn't have nearly enough RED for proper ambience.

Next time tell them MAS ROJO!!!!!!! MAS!! MAS!!!!!




The Jedi Master

Si! Neccesitamos mas rojo por todos!

Tell ya what, fellas. I enjoyed the kebab last night so much...I went and got a take-away of the same thing tonight
Kebab meat crammed into a 6 inch toasted, crunchy but soft bun, Sauce on the side, bigger portion of chips, and a can of beer
Last night cost me 9.60. Tonights take-away..7.80.
Bargain!
