Random pics from Tapeo. April 7, 2007

Nelson Sitton and Pam de Ocampo. April 7, 2007 7:58pm
It's almost 3:00am on Tuesday morning. Stayed late at Cafe Citron--it was fun. Anywayz, gonna catch up on blogging a bit since I'm up. But I'll show you a couple of pics and keep the commentary brief.
On Saturday night at Tapeo, I did have my friend Aref take pics during the show, but I didn't find any that I really felt like publishing. It's challenging taking pics in a restaurant--there's always a table or head or a waiter partially blocking the view. Oh well. You'll have to settle for drink and food pics...

Mojito. April 7, 2007 8:02pm
This is pretty much my regular drink here at Tapeo. Bartender Alejandra does make it perfectly here--her mojitos are so refreshing that it's almost tempting to drink them quickly. But don't do it! A short while later when the alcohol hits your bloodstream, you'll know why. So drink it slowly!

Cordero y Patatas--roasted lamb chops over mashed potatoes topped with rosemary sauce. April 7, 2007 9:43pm
Last week, just for fun, I asked this server named Carolina to bring me three of her favorite tapas but not tell me what they are until she served them to me. "Dame una sorpresa." It turned out I liked them all! The lamb chops are one of my favorites now. It's not very filling though, even with the mashed potatoes which by the way are very very good. I never thought mashed potatoes could taste that good!

Mejillones al Vapor--steamed mussels in white wine, garlic and herb broth. April 7, 2007 9:54pm
My friend Carol ordered the mussels. I think this is her favorite and it's also one of mine. She asked me to help her finish it and I didn't hesitate in grabbing the one shell that seemed to have the largest juiciest piece of mussel. Yum!

Serenity. April 7, 2007 10:09pm
It was a very cold night, so most of the customers left soon after the show and after finishing dinner. So around 10:00pm, my friends and I pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. Serenity couldn't resist the opportunity to get up on the stage and do a little dance. OK, maybe she doesn't have flamenco technique or any choreographies yet, but she's got the flamenco feeling for now...it's a good start.
Allright, it's after 3:00am and I'm going to get some sleep now. I'll add pics from an Easter party I went to on Sunday then after that I'll do a blog about Monday night at Citron. Good night!
