Cheek, as in butt???? Actually, the recipe sounds like a very delicious stew….good with a nice glass of Spanish red wine! I am loving the photos, Dee!! The white buildings and winding, uphill-downhill streets remind me of Santorini and Mykonos. And, Emma and Grace look like they were really happy with their cotton candy! Looks like you are all having a lot of fun! Hugs to all~Love, Nana

No, Janet, I think “cheek” as in the cheek of the face! The locals claim it’s quite tender; perhaps I’ll try it on you and Jim when you are here in September.
