Monday night’s dinner was also something of a mixed bag: while the gazpacho was great (and made even better thanks to an impulsive purchase of pimenton de la vera a few weeks ago), the tortilla did not flip. Pushing my nephew around in the pool along with some excellent birthday dinners did much to soothe me…but trust in that I will never plan to get a car inspected on a Friday the 13th ever again. Unpleasant and expensive repairs are never fun to deal with, but it had to be done. Our trips down there and back were uneventful, but we were dealt with a very unpleasant surprise in the form of a busted water pump that came to the fore during my car’s inspection and had to be fixed. Ensuring that we had all of the ingredients readily available, save perhaps having to run downstairs to pick up some extra eggs I thought I’d make gazpacho, we’d have a little wine and perhaps some cheese and we would toast to making it to and from Pennsylvania by car (our first major car trip in the last year) no worse for the wear.ĭid that happen? Well…sort of. A quick perusal on Serious Eats Thursday morning had put me face-to-face with a delectable-looking tortilla, so I had decided then and there that we would enjoy the Spanish staple Monday night thinking it would simple, fun and a break from all of the heavy food we had over the weekend. This meal started out with the best of intentions: we were going to be arriving home from Pennsylvania earlier that day, we had a delivery coming from Fresh Direct with most of the week’s groceries and all I had to worry about was the impending drive to work the following morning.
