We met my [second] cousin [once removed] Eden and her husband, Josh, for second breakfast this morning at Mesón Salvador before they took off for Ibiza and then points north. I had no problems except when we had to say good-bye. Physically, I’m so much better. We hadn’t seen them since American Thanksgiving 2010.
San Geraldo and Josh had traditional English breakfast #2 (from the menu). That includes baked beans which will never pass my lips. I’ve tried them enough times in my life to know I hate them no matter how they’re prepared and I never have to be polite and try them again. Eden and I had tostadas (pitufos, click here) with Serrano ham, manchego cheese, olive oil, and tomato puree. I wasn’t aching after breakfast but I had run out of steam so lounged in bed until lunch.
Our sweetheart Maria (4-1/2 years old) arrives from Madrid this evening with her parents, Alfonso and Cristina. So we’ll meet them for breakfast tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow evening is my appointment with my hunky neurosurgeon, Antonio. I expect it to be a very happy day.
Isabel will be enjoying a brief holiday this week, so she came to work today instead of her usual Thursday. She had had enough of looking at my jelly beans in their plastic bag, so made them more presentable as I work my way very slowly through them. Mr. Glasgow 2023 (click here) bought them at a nearby summer candy kiosk and they are surprisingly gourmet. They have definitely satisfied my craving. Look below for a parting shot of Mr. Glasgow 2023.
Conocimos a mi [segundo] primo [una vez retirado] Eden y su esposo, Josh, para un segundo desayuno esta mañana en Mesón Salvador antes de partir hacia Ibiza y luego hacia el norte. No tuve ningún problema excepto cuando teníamos que despedirnos. Físicamente, estoy mucho mejor. No los habíamos visto desde el Día de Acción de Gracias estadounidense de 2010.
San Geraldo y Josh tenían el desayuno inglés tradicional #2 (del menú). Eso incluye frijoles horneados que nunca pasarán por mis labios. Los he probado suficientes veces en mi vida para saber que los odio sin importar cómo estén preparados y nunca tengo que ser cortés y volver a probarlos. Eden y yo comimos tostadas (pitufos, haz clic aquí) con jamón serrano, queso manchego, aceite de oliva y puré de tomate. No me dolía después del desayuno, pero me había quedado sin energía, así que me quedé en la cama hasta el almuerzo.
Nuestra querida María (4 años y medio) llega esta tarde desde Madrid con sus padres, Alfonso y Cristina. Así que nos reuniremos con ellos para el desayuno mañana por la mañana. Entonces mañana por la noche es mi cita con mi guapo neurocirujano, Antonio. Espero que sea un día muy feliz.
Isabel disfrutará de unas breves vacaciones esta semana, por lo que vino a trabajar hoy en lugar de su habitual jueves. Ya se había hartado de mirar mis gominolas en su bolsa de plástico, así que las hizo más presentables mientras me abría paso muy lentamente a través de ellas. Mr. Glasgow 2023 (haz clic aquí) los compró en un quiosco de dulces de verano cercano y son sorprendentemente gourmet. Definitivamente han satisfecho mi antojo. Mire a continuación una foto de despedida de Mr. Glasgow 2023.
• Prefiero mi tostada menos tostada.
Oooh! Mr Glasgow and his very own sausage almost took my eyes of that “Full English” breakfast (which looked appetising, other than the fact the eggs were just slightly too “frizzled”).
Baked beans have been a staple diet of the Brits for ever (despite ostensibly being an American Cowboy staple of “Injun” origin, the dish arguably has far more ancient roots in Europe’s cassoulet)! We couldn’t live without them… Jx
Jon:
Yeah, the eggs were frizzled and my tostada was overly tostada-ed. That’s August in Fuengirola! Baked beans have always been one of my most hated foods. They can’t even touch my plate.
Jelly Beans & a demi plié with a heal raise both eye-catching.
Ron:
Yes, that was some pose.
Strike a Pose!
I make a good baked bean hummus. I learned not to use the word “hummus” when telling others about it if I want them to try it, but I guess in your case I’d have to omit “baked bean”.
Kelly:
Oh, I would be so upset if you omitted baked bean from the description. Ugh!
There are folks here in New Mexico, including a woman from France (!), who swear that their favorite meal is Huevos Rancheros. Really? Fried eggs on a tortilla smothered in red or green chili, some melted cheese, with a side of beans (refried or not). Maybe some chopped lettuce and tomatoes. Potatoes extra. I don’t get it. Eggs.
Frank:
I love eggs, but not juevos rancheros. I do, surprisingly, like refritos. Go figure.
Ronald Reagan’s fondness for jelly beans turned me off them for life.
Debra:
That would normally be the case with me. But I just like jelly beans too much. Screw Ronald Raygun.
San Geraldo’s and Josh’s breakfast looks like what I would choose, if I didn’t have gut issues. Mr. Jelly Bean looks yummy as well.
Shirley:
And Mr. Jellybean would cause no problem with the gut issues.
I don’t particularly crave jelly beans, but if that jar was in front of me, it would empty out pretty quickly.
Kirk:
I had some odd cravings after my surgery. Fresh fruit, jelly beans, and eggs were at the top of the list.
Okay now you’re just wanting me with Mr Glasgow. You know if he’s single and I’m single I think you can probably figure out where I’m going with this..
I would say you’re going to need a rest soon. Since you’ve gotten home it’s been nothing but a revolving door of guest stars.
Mistress Borghese:
Mr. Glasgow IS single. Charming, interesting, brilliant, too. And SO YOUNG.
Young is good. Youth has its advantages…. endurance, stamina, limberness……
And if you’re trying to sell me the goods….SOLD!!!!!!!!!!! lmao!!!!!!
Mistress Borghese:
And he can coo to you in French or SPANISH if you like.
Be still my heart……..
It’s not your heart that’s throbbing, dear Maddie… Jx
Jon:
I had the same thought!
Unlike Debra, I’ve never let that jelly bean eating bitch, Ronald Reagan, stop me from enjoying them… I LOVE the “Jelly Belly” brand, especially their raspberry, sour cherry and tangerine flavours. That Mr. Bean clip also gave me the best belly laugh of the week (so far), so thanks for sharing. Glad to hear you’re on the mend too!
Tundra Bunny:
I’m with you. Jelly beans are just too important to me for some asshole like Raygun to ruin them. And I love the Jelly Belly brand, too. So, I was especially surprised at how delicious these non-Jelly Bellys are. (Tangerine, yes!)
Can you publish a Mr. Glasgow calendar, maybe the MG of the day calendar? I like baked beans, but I have never understood the fondness of them as part of breakfast. I will eat them, but it.
David Godfrey:
And the English fondness for beans on toast. One of my English niece’s favorite meals when she was a child. Oh dear god! Wouldn’t a Mr. Glasgow calendar be great?!?
Those jelly beans look delicious! I just went back and read all of your most recent posts. It seems as if you’ve turned a corner as far as your recovery goes. Yay!
mcpersonalspace54:
Yes, the corner has been turned. Hallelujah! And they’re really good jelly beans.
I am so happy that you turned that proverbial corner!
What, exactly, does Mr. Glasgow do for a living? I hope it somehow involves celebrating that amazing body!
I love baked beans but I can leave a jelly bean. So you mail me your bakeds, I’ll mail you my jellies.
Steve:
Mr. Glasgow teaches high school Spanish and French!
You’re on your own with the baked beans. I will not get close enough to pack them up for you.
Oh, Lord, I’d never have been able to concentrate on a foreign language with him in the room!
Steve:
I wonder how many of his students have a crush on him.
I love the fact you’ve got visitors you adore xx lovely
John:
We are so lucky. We wish we could see each other more often. We’re overdue for a trip to Madrid for a visit.
I recently heard a podcast suggesting for the sake of the planet we should eat less meat and more beans. These beans look easy for this.
Urspo:
Do you suppose they meant jelly beans? I’ll do my part.
