Last night we had dinner at the great tapas place, Jaleo – but I didn’t take a single picture.
We had a largish group, 5 of us, so we got to sample ten tapas – we each ordered two:
- potatoes cooked in tomato sauce, with super garlicy aoli
- shrimp in garlic
- gazpacho x2 – so I guess we really only had nine tapas
- quail-I didn’t want the meat, but the sauce was yummy for dunking bread
- salad of roasted peppers & eggplant
- Salad with beets & goat cheese
- asparagus wrapped in serano ham
- onions roasted with Rosemary
- A grilled sausage with white beans
Today I got a Box lunch from OCLC – but I tried to go easy because we’re going to dinner. There was a portobello mushroom-goat-cheese-tomato sandwich, so I ate about 1/3 of one of those, and some tabouli. And some chips and the good gooey center parts of a chocolate chunk cookie. Some people had a Cobb salad, with a lemon Dijon vinaigrette – that’s what the labels on their boxes said – don’t know how I missed it, but I would’ve preferred it.
Not to mention the two receptions I have this afternoon. This is the food at the LITA one – I just had some cake:
At the library school reception, there were mushroom fried wontons, giant fried shrimp, mini crab cakes, several types of meat on sticks …. I had a beer, one of the mushroom things, and a couple of shrimp.
