Serious eats in Lisbon and Sevilla?

Iberico ham in Seville, or any spanish ham for that matter!

ANY seafood in Lisbon! Preferably in a 'quaint' restaurant in the Alfama district. Hopefully you will locate said restaurant without first having to get as lost as I did in the Alfama. Ah well, that's what cabs are for, right?

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

cut n freeze -- and buy frozen when you can -- especially veggies since they tend to be fresher frozen

If you eat plenty of salads, cut everything up and put into plastic storage containers as soon as you get home from the store.

Make a menu weekly, planning each daily meal. That way you're not confused about what to fix for dinner that evening.
