A day at Bed and Breakfast Finca Gordo during the preparation of the new season. Breakfast together in the morning sun, Marina preparing the rooms, I do some odd jobs. Around 12 o'clock a car is honking violently. Marina Marina Marina abierto la puerta.
Pepe the goatherd from Riogordo is standing in front of the gate with his little Renault 4. We open the gate and the white car races down. Nice, he comes to drink a beer and talk.
Yes, they talk too, but recently Pepe asked me to edit and print some photos. I did and the picture showed a goat mother with 6 little ones. Pepe thought it was so special and wanted to give all his children a print. I too had to get one.
When we delivered the photos of the goats he was so enthusiastic and asked what I should have for them. I wanted nothing for it. Please keep it as a good neighbor.
But today Pepe came to bring something to make up for it. In the white car was the present for our Bed and Breakfast. A real turkey of over 15 kg. Living off the farm, of course.
But Pepe we are from the city I told him. We are not just slaughtering an animal. But Pepe was determined to give us a turkey. Ok this looks like a nice tree, I think Pepe meant. I had to help. Turkey was hung with legs on the tree and in no time the head was off and the animal thrashed for a while. Skin with feathers off organs out and Pepe drove off again in his white car with the announcement let it hang for 4 hours and let it get cold then you can prepare and bone it.
Yet again through odd jobs painting etc. And after 4 hours the animal was boned.
Result 8 nice fillets, pan with soup, turkey rendang and turkey au vin.
You will experience something at B&B Finca Gordo. Back to basics.
By the way, the rendang was tasty.
Hasta Luego at our stylish B&B in Andalusia
