One bonus point right off the bat for a balmy February evening wandering one of my favorite parts of Houston!

This is not a very flattering picture of me, but it does show just how excited I am to get Christy in the blog! We've toasted in Sugar Land, Austin, Fort Worth, Sunrise Beach, and even Seaside, FL.
3 bonus points for Christy. Look at her expression and how nicely she puts up with me!



The Alcachofas Estofadas (left) was a refreshing mix of artichoke, sweet pea, serrano ham, manchego cheese...not exactly fingerish...but we shared. The crab cakes were yummy and the "Croquetas de patatus" (look like mozzarella sticks) were yummy fried potato snacks with alioli and sour cream. All good!!


Our outside table gave us the best of both worlds.
Not only could we hear the inside music, but Christy, Lorrie, Shari and I could view the Flamenco performance through the glass....while we conversed in the balmy night air... over our rustic cafe tables.. in our cozy corner... beside a vine covered wall. 3 bonus points for outdoor dining. There aren't enough good places in Houston!
I was feeling a little disappointed in myself that I had not had a decent "people encounter" to add to the blog. Getting some inside scoop from a waiter or the owner, always adds to my dining adventure experience. I was selfishly enjoying my friends too much to bother, when I happened to glance through the glass and noticed a table of nice looking young people...most with normal heads and 2 with horse heads.
