I don't use prawns - DH is allergic - but do add fried mushrooms, quartered cherry tomatoes and a 'cube' or two of frozen spinach. Fancy the idea of wine in the sauce.

I drank the wine while I was cooking

Today, we are going to have Lasagne Bolognese as our main course ..

Our starters are "amuses boüches" or appetisers that include:

White bean (northern or navy beans) hummus with sun dried tomato and basil served on Baguette Slices.

Roquefort drizzled with lavendar honey ..

A tiny tri color salad with cherry tomatoes & pomegrante seeds and home made vinaigrette ..

A lovely red wine from Bodega Muga - Haro, La Rioja called Prado Enea.

Dessert will be served at 18.00, and this is called " A Merienda" - when the pastry and a tea or café or hot chocolate is served. We will have a NO BAKE Cheesecake with a "simple ginger (no sugar - dietetic ) added to the biscuits bought & lemon biscuit crust" ..

Lovely fresh olive bread with cheeses and olives. Plus watermelon and a kiwi fruit.

For a healthier twist Eggs Florentine is a great choice while French toast adds a timeless sweetness

What?
This is getting silly

Thanks for replying. Your photos are very enticing - I hoped you were writing a book of delicious recipes!
Enjoy your evening!

Thank you and have a nice afternoon.

Lunch today was Asian.

Chinese Won Ton Soup - first time I ever prepared it and served with Spring Rolls and Prawns Tempura.

Nice change of pace and fun to do something a bit different.

Unfortunately, with no photos, we can't find your recipes for all these delicious and unusual meals FrenchgalinSpain

This what I got when I googled.
Maybe some of the OP’s post was a bit lost in translation.
Perhaps he/she might return to clarify?

NO idea what this is because Madrid has the following postal codes:

28001 - 28002 - 28003 etcetra.
All begin with a 2.000 series of numbers.

I have no idea what or where this postal code represents.

This has been reported to the Administrator via email ..

Thank you for your cooperation, not to repeat sending me reports regarding this. CANNOT CLARIFY AS I HAVE NO IDEA .. NEVER SAW THIS POSTAL CODE AND I LIVE IN MADRID CAPITAL 32 YEARS.

Today was the 1st day of the 2024 Tourism & Travel Tradefair in the Madrid Capital.

With this in mind, lunch was on the premises of the Convention Centre .. Temperatures were a wonderful 17 degrees centig and blue blue skies and sunny sunny.

It was quite a feast for the senses and I was immersed in writing my notes for the article for their press relations. Had a marvelous tapa assortment including croquettes filled with codfish and calamari with a fabulous ali oli mayonnaise garlic dipping sauce and a glass of wine.

Nice evening wishes.

I wonder if she means that she lives in the Capitol building in Madrid - presumably where she gets her 'Menu of the day'. It's quite a famous building so she may be assuming others would know of it. I may be wrong.

The Madrid Capital is the main part of the city and also the Capital of Spain.

Nice evening wishes.
