1. We are in Barcelona to help celebrate our daughter-in-law’s birthday and brought with us presents and cards from family in England. We bought some beautiful French tarts from a cake shop yesterday and had those for breakfast after our croissants! We cooked a birthday dinner last night as D and A have to go to Madrid tonight re A’s visa to visit us at Christmas.
2 This week we have eaten Spanish food, D&A’s Moroccan neighbour has brought in beautiful breads and cakes for us each day (see the photos below), last night’s dinner had one English course, (Prawns in a Marie Rose sauce), one French (Confit duck with saute potatoes and peas)and one Italian ( Tiramisu) and this evening we are having a Senegalese dish,Thieb bu djen( chebugen) which I have had a hand in preparing! For D&A’s arrival back tomorrow evening, the lovely neighbour is cooking us a Moroccan couscous dish.
Birthday breakfast.
Beautiful biscuits, all home made
3. Our Senegalese supper was super delicious and reminded us of our trip there for the Wedding last April.

They all look delicious! My mouth is watering looking at all these dishes! My daughter (who went to uni in Falmouth) just moved to Madrid last Wednesday, she’s going to be teaching English over there and is loving the city! I’m hoping it all works out for her so I have an excuse to visit just as I did when she was in Falmouth! 🙂

Being one intrigued by the vernacular of food; Thieb Bu Djen caught my attention. Ultimately leading to a couple videos showing the recipe being prepared produced by Alazhar Touba and posted on YouTube. And that led to a couple of very interesting short movies made in Senegal. Your Thieb Bu Djen opened my eyes to much more than you intended or perhaps you wisely set the trap with bait and this rat took the cheese. Either way, for me, this post was more than food when all was said and done. Thank you.
