After a nice afternoon walk with our dog Bosun ...., criss crossing Streets, and dodging direct sunlight..., we called into our favourite  watering hole .... and had refreshments ... call it afternoon tea..., as it was about 4 ish...., but, it was not dainty cakes or muffins ... it was Mediterranean..., Spanish tapas... We had Albondigas in a tomato  salsa,  ( pork meatballs),  we also had fritata, (omelette with vegetables in),  and some chicken in a curry salsa..., and lastly, some ensalada rusa, (russian salad), which is diced vegetables, with hard  boiled egg,  and small chunks of tuna,  in  a mayonnaise like dressing,  and of course some sliced baguette. ..., it was all very nice. See post photo... We were going to have quiche with salad at home..., but ...., we changed our minds... and, if we get a bit hungry later...,  ( as we do not usually  eat that early ), we can have a little bit of fruit and rice pudding..., so we will have enjoyed a truly multi -  national  menu today... I hope you all have had an enjoyable Sunday....

I love Spanish tapas and I confess that I surely prefer this Mediterranean style afternoon tea, even better if after 5 pm and with a glass of sangria.

I haven't had rice pudding in years. My grandmother used to make it. Sounds like you had a great day.

We did thank you... @celticeagle yes I think rice, as a pudding, is moving out of popularity. .., which is a shame as it is very nice ....

Your Sunday sounds like a nice way to relax. I'm sitting here listening to music on utube and reading on the site, a very enjoyable afternoon. I'm thinking that we'll have take out rotissaire chicken for supper, we'll have to wait and see, supper is still a couple of hours away.
