tapas

-noun
Any of various small, savory Spanish dishes, often served as a snack or with other tapas as a meal.
While Luis and Carolina were here last weekend, we went to this restaurant, Firefly, and they specialize in tapas. It is a good thing none of us were super hungry because tapas literally are just little bites of different foods. But it was really good. Here is one of the dishes Carolina ordered:
I took one bite and instantly decided that I needed to recreate it at home. It is essentially a puff pastry base with mushrooms in a cream sauce. It probably had a million calories, but it was seriously divine.

Now I'm not a big fan of french fries, but these were also really good. They were really thin, kind of flimsy fries but loaded with herbs.

And a really great part of the experience was that as we ate, we could look out and see Freemont Street and all of the craziness going on. At one point we looked over and saw two girls dangling from the ceiling doing some Cirque du Soleil-esque acrobatics.
