LA TEMPORADA ALTA se acerca rápidamente aquí en Fuengirola y la Ciudad está reparando, plantando, y limpiando. Las palmeras están siendo podadas, los jardines están siendo cuidados, y hoy nuestro gran monumento a la Peseta, la moneda española ántes del Euro, recibió un buen fregado (lo cual me hizo pensar en la entrada de hace dos días sobre "San" Rafael que le debe al gobierno más de 100 millones de euros). En cuanto a mí, dado que solo puedo cepillarme suavemente hasta que mi ojo ya no esté en riesgo de daño, tengo mis "postres".
Nota:
La expresión "to receive one's just desserts" (literalmente "recibir sus postres de justicia") significa recibir lo que se merece, especialmente el castigo apropiado. No sé la expresión equivalente en español.

it all looks so delicious! I don't know where to start!
ReplyDeleteWhere to start is tough but ending with anise ice cream is a great idea.
DeleteApple pie for me, followed by the dish of chocolate, please!!!
ReplyDeleteElaine:
DeleteIt's different from Jerry's amazing apple pie, but it's still delicious.
I'll have one of each of those desserts please!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteThat's what I did! It makes perfect sense.
You are cruel, Mitchell, to show those photos of such fabulous desserts. The ice cream especially calls to me.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteThe ice creams at Little Italy 2.0 are all homemade and unlike anything I've had. Pure, natural, delicious.
I've put on 3 lbs looking at the photos
ReplyDeleteJohn:
DeleteYou notice I started with fruit (well, sort of) and ended with fruit (also, sort of). That burns fat.
nice desserts
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteAnd I'm craving more.
Ok now I need to go make cheesecake. :)
ReplyDeleteSnoskred:
DeleteOh my god. Homemade cheesecake. Am I too late?!?
When we kids asked our father what was for dessert, he would say, "You can desert the table."
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteSounds like something MY father would have said, too!
Local strawberries are in right now, I made a strawberry pie in a gram cracker crust on Sunday. Sorry no pictures, I had the last of it for breakfast this morning.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteOoh, that sounds so good for breakfast. I like strawberries baked into things but am not a big fan of fresh ones.
Never heard of ginger ice-cream, nor thought of it until now - and now I want some!
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteI've had ginger ice cream before but never like this. It's got the bite of fresh ginger. Truly amazing. And that was my first anise ice cream. Better than I could have imagined. It's a good thing Little Italy 2.0 isn't right downstairs. I'd be there every day for ice cream.
Is Little Italy 2.0 the newer restaurant that opened in your building, or right nearby?
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteLittle Italy is the one where we had the fired gnocchi and the pasta prepared in the giant ring of parmesan. I went to the place downstairs for coffee with a friend the day after our wonderful first meal there. The owners were smoking in the enclosed terrace (against the law) and I've seen the chef owner light up INSIDE the restaurant! It's bad enough when restaurants allow customers to smoke when the terrace windows are shut, but in my opinion owners and staff should never be smoking. So, they're off the list. Too bad. Great food. But there are plenty of good choice around town.
Time to up my insulin again!
ReplyDeleteDeedles;
DeleteI just take one little pill every morning. So far, that does the trick!
Crazy to think the EU countries had once had to re-convert currency all the time
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteWhen I traveled in the '70s, I remember it being an inconvenience. It sure is easy now... if we'd ever go anywhere!
there is nothing like a good tidy up to brighten up the day.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteThe city goes all out to prepare for summer. Fresh paint, fresh flowers. It inspired me to have the glass curtain washed!
