I also like a drop-point blade Gary I used to regularly make omelettes/Spanish tortilla with bacon, onions, and potatoes (maybe a few peppers), eggs, and cheese. When it was firm, I'd put it under the grill, let it rise a little as it cooked, add grated cheese, and brown it

You said the "magic word", Jack! When I visited my daughter in Spain over 7 years ago, my favorite food was Spanish tortilla, which I had never had before. I could have eaten tortilla 3 times a day (and I did once or twice).

Here's a photo of my first serving of Spanish tortilla at Bar Agua y Vida just outside the walls of the Real Alcázar in Sevilla, Spain:

Here's one of several knives I bought on my trip to Spain. (This JJ Martinez navaja de campaña is from Granada, even though the tortilla is from Sevilla.)

Pulled pork sliders for lunch today. Still enjoying the fruits of the Easter Sunday pork butt; turns out a 10 lb pork butt for a family of four (two of whom are young kids) means a lot of leftovers! The Hartshead Barlow didn’t really have any work to do, he was just there to look good.

Thanks, Leon and Jack.

It was a very memorable trip for me, indeed, Jack, since I don't get out much!
Here are a couple of pics of the meals we had when we ate at the Al-Medina Moroccan restaurant basically across the street from the hotel in which we stayed in Sevilla. My daughter wanted to eat at a place highly recommended in a tourist guidebook we had, and we wandered around for quite some time trying to find it, before discovering that it was incredibly crowded and reservations were needed. When my daughter doesn't get food on a regular schedule, she becomes "hangry", and I tried to calm her down by suggesting we just head back to the hotel and try the North African/Arabic/Mediterranean "fusion" of Al-Medina. She ordered lamb couscous (top pic below), I had chicken tanjine with almonds (middle pic), and I was carrying a Taramundi I bought in Sevilla (bottom). The food was excellent!! In the middle pic, you can see the little notepad in my shirt pocket; I carried that with me throughout the trip and devoted a page (2-sided) each day to essentially a "daily activity log". One of the best decisions I've made; I've often gone back to the notepad and "relived" aspects of the trip, or used it to make sense of the hundreds of photos my daughter and I took.

Thanks for sharing those treasured memories Gary I also used to keep notebooks when I travelled a lot, not diaries, but just the names of good restaurants, places I stayed, tips for when I returned, contact details of friends I met, etc. I should go back and revisit them

Looks like a Lamb Foot Donut theme developing here… I dig it!

Thank you. More where that came from.

Picked up this cheesesteak at the Harrisburg, OR exit on I5 today. Super convenient to eat while driving. Good thing I had a knife to cut it in half.

We went downtown today to get some Mexican Food. It's the only place around here that comes near to what I'm used to eating in New Mexico. Had a Dos Equis Amber draft to wash it down.

Here's another thing the Syracuse area is known for, besides Camillus Cutlery. The 24 second shot clock! Whoda thunk it?
