It is Terje´s birthday today. My present to him was 12 small notecards, each of them "the value" of a dinner or lunch for two, and also each of them for one of the months in 2019. One dinner or lunch, at a new place, every new month. You can see pictures of the gift in my journal blog, Britt Arnhild dagboksblader.
Starting today, with the first notecard, I wanted to take him somewhere special.
I know John, a British author, who lives part of the year in Tenerife with his wife. Besides writing books John also writes about food and restaurants, so I contacted him, knowing that he was the one to give me the best recommendations. And I was right. John mentioned a few places, and sent me a facsimilie of what he had written, and I stated the long and tedious work of contacting the restaurant. Several emails and many tries to reach then on the phone, later, I had a table for two booked :-)
What a great place. When we arrived we were given a table and then asked to go to the counter to order. We understood very few of the Spanish names of fishes and seafood, but it was all there to look at, to point out, fresh from the sea. "We have no idea what to order!" I said, "but it is my husbands birthday today. Will you please make us something special"
Which they did!
We were so stuffed when we were finished, we had to go directly back to our hotel to rest. Terje near the pool, I in the bed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Terje.
