Friday, January 11

 
I was looking forward all day to date night with Michael,
and luckily he agreed to Ole Tapas.
 
I'd eaten there once before & wasn't extremely impressed,
but I wanted tapas & didn't want to drive through the rain to Wilmington.
 
And the experience was immensely more delicious this time.
 
We were going to try to be brave & order
calamari with squid ink sauce,
but when the waiter told us it would dye our mouths black,
I opted out.
We chose calamari with artichoke.
I think it was a good choice.
 
My favorite of the 5 dishes we ordered was the
remolacha.
I think it's a beautiful word.
Remolacha.
It means beets.
I love beets.
We used to eat them when when we were little,
but then we somehow forgot about them for like 15 years.
I've just rediscovered how wonderful they are.
And fresh beets are so much more delicious than the canned ones we used to eat.
Especially when roasted and served with queso fresco, romaine & parsley oil.
