Sangria is made with red wine, lemon soda, sugar, peach slices, lemon slices, and a lot of ice cubes. If you put cinnamon, you get drunk very fast! I make sangria with my own lemons and oranges. La Barraca is a good place for paella. Next time go to Casa Lucio and taste the delicious "huevos rotos". You'll come back! And there are a lot of fine spanish wines: Rueda, Toro, Penedes, Albarino, Somontano (my favorite). Thanks for writing about my hometown, and if you want to eat wonderful migas, next time phone or e-mail me. It will be a pleasure to invite you.<BR/>Jose Ramon (Madrid, Spain)Badsignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221326362777794518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-72674929960591775202008-09-23T07:41:00.000-07:002008-09-23T07:41:00.000-07:00If you would be willing to issue the Tom Russell C...If you would be willing to issue the Tom Russell Cookbook (include whiskey toast, please), I would be willing to buy it.Texoramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931055788237826591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-60999195779494578592008-09-22T14:10:00.000-07:002008-09-22T14:10:00.000-07:00Live your life as Art . . . then your Art becomes...Live your life as Art . . . <BR/>then your Art becomes you.<BR/><BR/>TR , you most cetainly do!<BR/><BR/>-ST<BR/><BR/>Just tuned into Lou Reed's New York Shuffle with co host Hal Willner out on the edge of avant garde ( not my usual territory ) along with everything else thrown in for good measure. <BR/><BR/>Via: Medicine Bow, Wyoming where Owen Wister sits in front of the fire place in his still extant cabin.

Probably nothing new in here for the intiated or insider. However, as in any mining endeavor you must remove the overburden and tailings to get to the gems and there are a few in there. No Rosetta Stone of course. How can you explain the universe in 95 minutes. I am just thankful that TR is leaving such good notes behind on the trail he travels.
