Meet Pipocas – popcorn mule and international woman of mystery . . .
Had a fabulous afternoon yesterday. Not only did I meet up with “S” (aka Pipocas) for a wonderful lunch at ay Maricrú, but I also got to pick up the Orville’s she brought back for me. I couldn’t believe how much she got – should keep me going for at least a couple of weeks. 
We started off our lunch with an amazing roasted tomato & goat cheese salad with pesto sauce, and a nice bottle of crisp & fruity white wine (rueda). Should have brought my little wine cooler thingy with me as we weren’t offered an ice bucket. Anyhow, about three very pleasant hours later we both wandered off back to work . . . I could really get used to this. 
You can see the rest of our lunch tapas here – photos 19-22
And you’ll never guess what I had for dinner!

Watch out for popcorn lung with all that Orville’s, OK? Glad you got some, though…

Definitely have to be careful, WC, because it does smell so good when you open the bag. With the Newman’s Own stuff I’ve been eating lately I actually have to open the bag outside the kitchen window – it has a very odd smell to it, but it’s still better than the other crap available here.
I have to say that it was wonderful sitting down to watch House with a bowl of Orville’s last night. Though I’m not enjoying season four as much as I did the other three … something just isn’t quite right about it.
Next week I start on the Orville’s and fruit purée “diet” – watch for it!

Wow, that is a lot of popcorn. And the tapas sound yummy. Mmm, goat cheese, roasted tomato and pesto. I want some. Right now. For breakfast.
