It's not PDO so there was Parmesan on top, a smidge of Saint Agur blue cheese in the mash, a teaspoon of Marmite and peas in the filling.

Mrs. C dragged SIL around the local farm stands and fish markets, so their bounty is what we had for dinner.

 

Halibut cheeks, simply prepared with S&P. Yellow watermelon salad with tomatoes, balasmic vinegar, and Thai basil. Dry-fried green beans with chorizo, Tianjin preserved vegetable, ginger, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine.

Marmite doesn't get enough love as a seasoning. I put it in anything involving a gravy or red meat (e.g. ragu). Top marks from me 😀

菠萝炒饭 (bō luó chǎo fàn) Pineapple fried rice is not only common in Thailand but among many of China's ethnic minorities, especially the Dai people in Yunnan Province which borders Vietnam and Myanmar/Burma. It also borders Guangxi where I live and the ethnic minorites here also make it.

 

This which I put together last night is 菠萝虾仁炒饭 (bō luó xiā rén chǎo fàn), pineapple shrimp fried rice, to which I also  added a little chicken that needed using. Made it slightly spicy, too. So technically 菠萝虾仁鸡肉炒饭 (bō luó xiā rén jī ròu chǎo fàn), pineapple shrimp and chicken fried rice.

s your next stop Girona, or further south?  Are you all on the medieval tour?


A little further south, near Arenys de Mar. We are at my in-laws, but I am sure we‘ll be daytripping to Girona as well one of these days …
