A Gift in Pieros

Food 1 Minute

Rodrigo is a pilgrim who worked as a hospitalero for Mar years ago. He came through, and his knee was bothering him. So he decided to stay a few days and give me some time off.

The first day I came to town and did this.

Lacón con pimientos (ham with peppers)
Muslos de pollo con patatas y ensalada (chicken thighs with potatoes and salad)
Tarta de queso (which is still not cheesecake. I swear, I’m going to bring the right pan and show these Spaniards what cheesecake is.)

I didn’t check in any pilgrims or clean a damn thing. Yesterday the same thing. Today I did a little before I left and I’ll do more tonight after dinner. It has been so wonderful. Even though my shoulders still tingle, they have relaxed enough I can feel the knots. Before they were too stiff.
