I rarely use this platform as an advertising venue and, so far, I have never received payment for any of my blog posts in Foodielady.com. It has been my custom to only write about places, products, recipes and experiences that resonate with me as a home cook, consumer or patron. I don’t pretend or aspire to be a food/restaurant…

Huevos Estrellados con Patatas Fritas- Casa Lucio
This morning, my husband Emilio made his version of Huevos Estrellados con Patatas Fritas al estilo Casa Lucio, which simply translates to fried eggs over homemade french fries, a trademark dish served for lunch or dinner at Restaurante Casa Lucio in Madrid, Spain.
