A night out in Carvoeiro

[pammie]

Maddi, sometimes when I have got my serious head on I like to be known as a Guest - just to keep you on your toes and make sure you are maintaining standards on this forum? at least thats my excuse for my forgetfulness sometimes

[maddi]

Dear "Pammie"

I have always known that you are out there everyday just looking for the topic heading that could see "Pammie" rise like a pheonix from the ashes and I just knew this would be the one!! Poor Rob, bless him, you are quite right of course, if he didn't know where to look then how would he know what to do Also as is he fairly new to the forum, he hasn't had any previous "Pammie" experience.

Mads

p.s. the alter-ego thing is great, you know how much I love it but could you put miniscule clues in your "guest" postings!!

[Gordon and Sandy Low]

Hey Digger - love the recipe!
(Jeez... only 5 more weeks till Superbock and Supernuts time
Salivating Sandy

nb... I do believe I'm the only one in the Sultanate of Oman whose BBQ speciality is Chicken Piri Piri.

[maddi]

I am only person in South Devon whose BBQ special is Gambas Pil Pil, yes I know technically it is Spanish but I use the A Gale recipe.

Hi Maddi and Pammie - just the sort of topic to bring anyone out of retirement.

Agree with Pammie, you have to know just where to go to find the right nite life and those 'strippers'. All in the best possible taste of course.

BBQ specials include all those roasting nuts too

[maddi]

Hi Susan

I hope things are ok with you, and have missed you being around but do understand - anyway how strange that it is today that you come out of "retirement" - I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There will be some roasted nuts north of Silves tonight. The whole place is alight. God knows how the bombeiros can get it under control with the inadequate equipment they have

[maddi]

This is awful news and deadly serious, I do hope that the fires can be bought under control before there is any serious loss of life. If it is true that they have been set by arsonists, I struggle to understand what sort of low life can do such a thing. Even without human loss of life, much of nature will be destroyed and many firefighters will be putting their lives at risk as I type, I hope that their god is with them tonight.

Coming back to a perfect drink, don't miss Sully's (individual) sangrias, they are great on a hot day, even on a not so hot day in February. I know you like your Black Russians, Maddi, but give the Sangria a try.

Caipirinha gets my vote!

All sounds very nice but my favourite is a dry martini @ Cheers!

[Guest]

I for one like a good drink but i do find that they sometimes over do the spirit and because the glasses they serve the drinks in are usually quite small e.g. thin and long you cant get enough of the mixer in and end up drinking near enough a straight drink, saying that i dont mind after the first few its just hard trying to get the first few down . When i was last there in June i noticed that in certain places they charge you different if you have a branded spirit i.e. smirnoff vodka rather than the cheap unbranded stuff. Also my sister drinks bacardi and doesnt like white rum she does notice the difference but she couldnt get a proper bacardi for love or money anywhere even though she was quite prepared to pay extra for it.

[digger]

Oh thanks Gambrinus, a Scotch on the rocks for me cheers mate

[pinkiebluesky]

how about peeling the nuts, gently frying ( I dern't say tossing them!!) them (in a little oil) adding some piri piri in powder to spice things up!!
