..was on Monday, so another long weekend and another 2 days off school for the kids....do they ever go to school here?! Holiday weekends and fiesta days are always celebrated with gusto here, and lots of 'outsiders' decamp from other parts of the world to party here in our little normally tranquil paradise. We decided to have some neighbours in on Sunday night, and with the local elections coming up in May we thought it would be a good night to chew the political fat as well as some Tocino. (The latter is a really gross lump of pig fat with rind which you eat raw only when totally inebriated)
We had a nice night, everyone brought something (we ended up with 3 tortillas) including rabbit, a Murtas speciality, and the usual suspects such as Russian salad, stuffed eggs, morcilla (another bit of Porky, a bit like black pudding but chewier) and an array of chorizo salchicon and lomo. Not really an ideal night out for a Veggie then.....Jesus brought his wine, it' s delicious this year, with a depth of fruit and very soft, and a kick like a Murtas mule.
Anyway, here' s the Russian salad for you....
Boil and mash a couple of fluffy potatoes, mashed hard boiled eggs, add a dollop of Mayonnaise,flaked tuna, and chopped olives and capers. Mix it all together with salt and black pepper, and shape it into something resembling an Armadillo, add whole olives and capers to decorate, and don' t under any account serve it to Stan, he hates it with a vengeance....
