Raisin pie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My grandmother used to make a really good raisin pie that she called “Larkin Pie”, I think because she got the recipe from a friend named Mrs. Larkin. (Mom, you’ll have to tell me if I’m remembering this wrong.) Well, I had some raisin pie today and it reminded me of my grandmother’s pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are back walking on the Camino. Not a long walk today but we stopped at two different places (the only two places to stop between Pontevedra, where we started, and Caldas de Reis, where we stopped). They were both neat places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was the one that had the raisin pie (pastel de uvas pasas<\/em>.) It really was good and the raisins were huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We both ordered a coffee and I asked for a tortilla (Spanish omelette) with bread. The young man behind the counter told me to grab a plate and help myself. It was delicious. Later I happened to notice the raisin pie. After eating the tortilla, I wasn’t hungry but I knew if I didn’t try the pie I would never get over regretting not trying it. (It’s the only one I’ve ever seen on the Camino.) So glad I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved the bar. It was in the converted garage of someone’s house on the Camino. Clearly family-run. We spotted an older women in the kitchen and Charlie said “I’m sure she’s the cook and she’s probably his grandmother.” When we paid, I told the young man “muy rico” which is what you say to say the food was very delicious. He lit up. I asked him who was the cook. He said “mi abuelo” (my grandfather). I did a double take. Surely I had misheard him. But he verified, yes, his grandfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pie and the tortilla only cost 2.50 each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
