THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER WAS delightful. We sat on the beach at Chiringuito (beach bar) Oasis under another completely overcast sunset. (The photo at top is Chiringuito Oasis in 2016.) We taxied there and Alexander gave us a lift home. The company was perfect, although I have few photos to prove it (the lighting made it difficult — and the fact that I didn’t get up off my ass to take pictures of Tynan and Alexander on my side of the table). The food was exceptional, as you’ll see below.

LA CENA DEL 40º ANIVERSARIO fue una delicia. Nos sentamos en la playa de Chiringuito (bar de playa) Oasis bajo otra puesta de sol completamente nublada. (La foto en la parte superior es Chiringuito Oasis en 2016). Tomamos un taxi allí y Alexander nos llevó a casa. La compañía fue perfecta, aunque tengo pocas fotos para demostrarlo (la iluminación lo hizo difícil — y el hecho de que no me levanté de mi culo para tomar fotos de Tynan y Alexander en mi lado de la mesa). La comida fue excepcional, como verá a continuación.
• Para empezar, tuve calamaritos fritos.
• Todos los demás tenían sardinas a la plancha.
• Mi bacalao al pil pil.
• Las croquettas de pollo de Elena y Paula. Cuando Paula vio la traducción al inglés, croquettes (que es francés), preguntó si había una palabra en inglés real para ellos. ¡Croquettes!
• Elena siguió reorganizando las cosas para permitirme vistas claras de mis fotos de comida. Ella siempre hace eso, aunque yo siempre me las arreglo bien. En un momento dado, movió todos los vasos y botellas frente a San Geraldo, solo para ayudar. San Geraldo no estaba contento.
• Alexander eligió del menú de barbacoa.
• Creo que era lubina.
• Anchovies with lemon.
• Coulant de chocolate.
• Algunos de nosotros tomamos una copa de pacharán complementaria después de la cena.
• La opinión de San Geraldo sobre mi pacharán. Me encanta, pero el pacaharán casero de Elena es mucho mejor (haz clic aquí).
Lol – the many faces of SG! He is rivaling Maria for the variety of his expressions. Glad you had a good time, good friends and excellent food to celebrate your anniversary.
Mary:
SG is a great subject and very kind to let me share funny photos.
Ditto what Mary said. Also, I read made from crushed and fermented shoes. I need to drink my coffee, stat!
Deedles:
Well, as far as SG is concerned, I think crushed and fermented shoes would taste better.
Looks like a memorable evening! The Pacharan sounds interesting. I love it that Elena is having so much fun, though SG looks a little incredulous.
Steve:
I do very much like the pacharan, but Elena’s is exceptional and was the first I ever had. I don’t know if I would enjoy it as much otherwise.
looks like a great meal. And sounds like great fun.
Glad you two were able to celebrate a wonderful milestone!!
Bob:
Its bizarre. I remember TURNING 40 and thinking THAT was a big deal.
Happy anniversary best wishes to the two of you. Lovely dinner
Larry:
The dinner was a pleasure, but we missed the love at Mesón Salvador.
Oh, fresh fish cooked to perfection…how I long for it. No calamares here in New Mexico…
Frank:
These calamares (well, my calamaritos) were the best I’ve had. So fresh and perfectly prepared.
Those little calamari look wonderful, as does your whole evening.
Wilma:
The calamaritos were the best I’ve ever had. Exceptional seafood exceptionally prepared.
As usual, San Geraldo’s expressions are priceless. I think you could you a whole blog dedicated to the looks on his face. But then we wouldn’t have that delicious food to look at.
Kirk:
At times, it seems like my blog is all about SG. He’s my muse… and a really good sport.
Looks like you had a well deserved and wonderful time.
David:
It was a pleasure. And we even went as far as hugging each other… with our faces turned. THAT has been so missed.
Drinks and great laughter ~ me thinks your 40th will be very memorable.
Ron:
Me thinks you’re right!
This all looks SO delicious! I love all of it…..I think!
Jim:
Great food and great company.
