Warning:

If you are in a hurry, this is not the website for you.  My food
nonsense and recipes tend to ramble and I babble. I’m old and
feeble minded and sometimes I forget what I’m doing and
wonder off into the woods and attract mosquitoes.

There are so many wonderful Food sites now that I don’t know
why anybody would want to bother with mine but I’m having a
lot of fun with it anyway. My feet won't let me be a professional
chef anymore but I still enjoy cooking more than anything
except sitting in front of a fire and telling lies with old friends.

I am a stogy old poot and, I don’t like new stuff.  I like old
hotels, old restaurants, old towns, old music and old places. I
prefer classical music and classical recipes. I don’t like
computers and hand held gizmos and I prefer classical Flamenco
like that of Sabicas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabicas. I don’t
like Nuvo anything.
The Geriatric Gourmet
Feria de Constantina,
España, 1960.....Abuela by
now. I worked at
Constantina from 1960 to
1964.
Hablo con un acento Andaluz y
soy cómodo con español.
Mantengo contacto frecuente con
mis amigos en España y México.

Mein Deutsch ist nicht
besonders gut, aber ich verstehe
genug und kann es ausreichend
sprechen; so daß ich in Ländern,
in denen Deutsch gesprochen
wird (Deutschland, Österreich,
Schweiz, Südtirol) mich sehr gut
verständigen kann. Ich behalte
häufigen Kontakt mit meinen
deutschen Freunden in Europa
bei.

Parlo l'italiano bene abbastanza
e mantengo il contatto frequente
con i miei amici Italiani in
Europa.

My Japanese accent is good but
my vocabulary is very limited. I
study when I plan a trip to Japan.

Je parle à seulement assez
français pour obtenir que j'ai
besoin de dans Québec, La
Suisse ou France. Je m'appelle
John Martin, j'habite en Texas et
New Mexico et j'ai besoin d'un
cognac.

Quando eu estou em Portugal,
eu falo principalmente espanhol
e eu tento meu mau
português………….. Eu faço
suficientemente bem.

Because I am an old poot, I don’t
see so well anymore. Of great
irritation to us old poots is all the
teeny-weeny fine print on
websites, credit card and bank
terms and conditions, and
instructions for just about
anything etc.

So I put all my recipes in PDF
files with BIG font so that
anybody who can read can read
them.
My Languages:

English-fair, Spanish-fluent,
German- mediocre, Italian-
fluent, Japanese-Accent &
Grammar-good, Vocabulary-
weak, French-just barely,
Portuguese-when in
Portugal, I speak mostly
Spanish with a little
experimental
Portuguese……….it works.
I put this little search thing
here so you could look
for recipes but so far, it
doesn’t work…….I’ll ask
the tech folks about it.
Oh fiddle-Dee Dee,
I’ll think about that
tomorrow.
