A Night After Thanksgiving Tapas Party

Attendees: Mitch, E, Ray, Chay, Nana, Papa, Uncle Tim, Aunt Mary, and Grace

For a change of pace and to break in the new house, E and I decided to have family over for a tapas party. I had always wanted to throw one, and the night after Thanksgiving seemed like a perfect chance to break up the big holiday meals. The party was supposed to actually happen the night before Thanksgiving, but Ray broke her arm. Friday night worked out better, though, because Grace was able to join us!

The Menu
Salted Almonds
Spanish Marinated Olives
Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Crackers
1905 Salad
Pancetta Wrapped Asparagus with Shaved Parmesan
Shrimp with Garlic and Chilis
Cilantro and Garlic Chicken with Tomato-Raisin Sauce
Sangria
