Two cutest things

Ella found Clotilde's new book I left on the chaise sofa and went to investigate. I managed to snap a picture before she lost interest -what, you don't have a camera ready wherever your new kitten happens to be? These two are the cutest things in my house right now.

Of course you know Clotilde has a new book, yes? If not, where have you been? She's everywhere, including the Today's Show just the other day. How exciting! If you missed it you could watch her online here.

I grabbed my copy today and spent the afternoon on my sofa snuggling up with it, sipping a cup of tea -which, admittedly, would have been a tad messier to do when reading Chocolate and Zucchini online.

The many inspiring recipes are not sending me into the kitchen today though. I've got to get packing. I'm leaving for Spain tomorrow for a quick 10-day trip. Alas, while Clotilde's book can tag along to keep me company, my Ella won't do so well in the luggage. I'm going to miss her so much.

I'll see you Monday from rainy(!) Pamplona. Kudos to anyone who can guess what I'd be doing there. Oh, and if you are in the US or UK, Clotilde is in the middle of her book tour at the moment. Say hello for me if you see her!

Hi! I've been following your blog, and wanted to say good luck on the trip to Spain! I can't wait to read all about it!

You're joining David at the Congreso Internacional "Vive las Verduras" (Congress of Vegetables). Have fun! And give my best to Ferran and Alain ;-)

That Ella is adorable. Are you going to Pamplona to eat at Enekorri? I've got a friend who smuggled back a whole jamón the last time she came back from Spain (she had the store shrink wrap it so the dogs couldn't smell it). I'm going to try it next time I go. Buen provecho y buen viaje.

Bon Voyage, Pim!

(I couldn't comment the other day to *SQUEE* at the bebe. Enjoy her when you get back. If you were closer, I'd volunteer to cat-sit.)

Ella is a good name; I thought of naming mine Eleanor.

How dare you leave her so soon? Send her to me, it's nearly time for my supper.

If you get to Mallorca, check out Read's Hotel in Santa Maria. A British chef doing some amazing foods.
