Tapas? I’ve heard about them, but what are they? I picked up the book, to find out there was a secret tapas lover hiding in my soul. They’re like appetizers, but really they are the whole meal, just little quick courses. Not to heavy, easy, and oh so good.
So I’ve instituted Tapas/Appetizer Fridays. Which has happened once in the last 7 or 8 weeks. I try, someday when the planets align it’ll happen again. We enjoyed “Porterhouse Steak with Sherry,” it was tender and delicious. The stuffed tomatoes were scrumptious, believe it or not the kids liked the Tapas more than they liked the mini pizza bites. Which brings me to today.
At 4:30 today, while defrosting the chicken that I had forgotten to taken out. Thinking to myself “what am I going to make for dinner?” I realize, that not only was my daughter hosting a sleepover after my son’s 6:15 soccer game, but I had rescheduled his piano lesson for 5:30 (oops). What am I going to make in 30 minutes? Panic! What am I going to do? I will just die if we do fast food again (whine). Ah ha! Tapas book to the rescue. I was able to throw together “Chicken in Lemon and Garlic,” home made Cole slaw, and some Watermelon slices. Dinner was on the table at 5:05 and we were out the door on time. Yes, miracles can happen.
The Tornado warning part of the story can wait
