Cafe Viena, Barcelona 2008

Tom and I trek La Rambla to Cafe Viena taste what Mark Bittman claims is one of the best sandwiches he's ever eaten (NY Times review) Tom was super impressed with the "flauta d’ibéric d.o. jabugo" (ham on a baguette). Melt-in-your-mouth thinly sliced jamon lines a crispy baguette. Amazingly simple and really really good!

Good Bye Joan

Joan,

You were a wonderful friend and competitor. I will forever remember your fabulous smile, red suit and infectious laugh. You always brought a smile to my face and I thank you for that.

You will be sorely missed.

While Chris & Susanna jet off to Scotland, I have the pleasure, with my buddy Scotty, to get to know my Godsons better and doggy sit!
