| MY TWO EXQUISITELY DELICIOUS MOJITOS. (THE ONE AT LEFT BEGAN AS SAN GERALDO'S EXQUISITELY DELICIOUS MOJITO.) |

| SECRETO IBERICO (PORK), BAKED PUMPKIN, AND PINEAPPLE MARMALADE; CARILLADA (PORK) IN A CHOCOLATE SAUCE; CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH RED BERRIES; WARM APPLE TART. |
The first time I saw San Geraldo (in 1981) was in Boston on a Sunday afternoon at a bar called Chaps. He was standing across the room from me and I could swear he was levitating and surrounded by a heavenly light.
The reality:
The grandson of kings was standing on a platform. Behind him were the pinball machines. Their electric lights provided the glow. I prefer my initial version better.
Most people who know San Geraldo say I'm the saint. Whether that's true or not (and if you lived with San Geraldo for a minute, you would say it's true) he really does make the world glow brighter.

Well, if he gave you his mojito, he must be a saint. My Saint Dennis made bread pudding with ripe plantains for us to have with New Year's Day Dinner this evening. To be topped with warm rum sauce. This is a new recipe; I'll let you know how it is. Cheers!

DeleteSan Geraldo never drinks more than a couple of sips from any drink. So, I end up with his by default. It's not easy but I manage. Rum sauce! Mmm mmm.
I am the saint in my house. the cats know what I live with. HNY! my pork roast is in the slow cooker.
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteOUR cats would tell you THEY are the saints! HNY to you, too. (It took me a bit to figure out what that meant!)
saint one more in this crazy world I like this idea
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, guys!

Happy New Year to you, Jerry and Judyshannonstreet what!!
Jim:
DeleteI think we'll just wait for next year to catch the light show. I've had enough city crowds for now! Wishing you and Ron a very happy year!
Happy New Year to the both of you!
ReplyDeleteJan:

Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteSame to you both!
HNY to you two saints!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteNew Year hugs to you and San Carlos!
Good to see S.G. without a towel on his head. And I really do fancy one (or perhaps even three) of those mosquito thingies which, I see on looking it up, has (white) rum as its alcy ingredient. Mmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course, a terrifico 2017 to all the four of you!
DeleteRay:
DeleteWishing you un año terrifico, too! Mojitos, when made well, are my favorite alcoholic beverages!
It's difficult being married to a saint - ask Laurent he'll tell you!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and S.G. all health and happiness in 2017.
Willym:
DeleteFunny Laurent told me to ask you the same question (not really, but I bet he would). Wishing you both a very happy year!
What a saintly pair you make.
