How was that for a hook? I thought that was pretty epic, and why yes, I have taken creative writing courses!
So the menu de jour for yesterdays dinner was bruschetta (not pronounced the American way "broo-shet-uh") but then we thought we'd liven it up and just go for a whole Tapas themed dinner. By the way, one of my favorite puns is saying "topless" instead of "tapas", I don't know why, it just makes me laugh every time. Hehe, topless...
Well, it was actually fake tapas because we aren't in Spain, we didn't have wine (unheard of!) and there was just a lot of not authentic touches. Example: instead of a long wood table with little dishes, we were in the floor kitchen with the food on my plastic cutting board, but hey the imagination is working! This is what real tapas looks like...
There weren't quite enough tomatos, so I made the most garlic-y bruschetta ever. Then we also toasted some additional bread in the oven and topped it with some cheese. Meanwhile, Carlos-the-amazing, fried potatoes, cooked spinach and onion, and browned some turkey (leftover lunchmeat, are we creative or what?). I will say that the presentation was quite nice, I wish I had taken a picture.
I arranged the bruschetta on one side of the cutting board, with all the tops of the bread facing the same way, then the other side was the bread with cheese, then Carlos arranged all the toppings (tapas, topless?) on another plate in neat-yet-carefree piles, complete with a couple spoons. Everything tasted soooo good! And we both ended up with the strongest garlic breath ever, but thats okay, its always worth it for good food. :)
