Sunday Nite Tapas~

Saturday night we had a fabulous meal..it lasted all night~

I had to be at the office Sunday early and Jacques said..WFD?:)

We thought simple..easy ..quick..
Ann often makes a variation of this and her photos are to live for :)

Shrimp Tapas..

I love it..and Jacques loves it even more.. He made a fresh loaf of bread while I was at the office to accompany it..




Dipping the bread in the garlic/olive oil cooking juices is heavenly~
By candlelight..even nicer..

Soon the time will change and it will be daylight at dinner..


More time for friends~And Family...
Outside..in the garden..eating al fresco! Soon! Well soon enough..
But...I plan on savouring what is left of this restful winter time..
Believe it or not~

This recipe is a cinch.. nice little oven proof cazuelas..shrimp..garlic.. olive oil.. and whatever additional add-ons you love..bake until the shrimp turns pink..not long..and then just dip .. munch..and savour~
Bon~
Another thing I love..postmarks~
On letters..on tags..on matches..on stamps.. on postcards..photos and now on candles~

  1. Your shrimp and garlice sound heavenly, and with homemade bread to soak up the juices, what could be better?

    So yummy and delicious. My favorite kind of food.

  5. Ambrosial...the key word for me is "oven proof." :-) I have been contemplating oven-cooked shrimp. This recipe looks, and sounds, divine.

  6. The best...the dipping the bread in the juices, so good!
    Lovely meal, Monique!
    And yes, I find winter restful too...rest from all the garden chores, and anticipation to when we can get out here again..
