El Pulpo En Mi Cocina / Octopus In My Kitchen

I couldn't resist - this is a gorgeous shot.

Photographer's note:

"The octopus is a cephalopod of the order Octopoda. Octopuses have two eyes and four pairs of arms and like other cephalopods are bilaterally symmetric. An octopus has a hard beak, with its mouth at the center point of the arms. Most octopuses have no internal or external skeleton, allowing them to squeeze through tight places. Octopuses are highly intelligent, probably the most intelligent of all invertebrates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus)."

Pinchos / Spain, Barcelona

Photo note:

"A pincho (Spanish; literally, thorn or spike) or pintxo (Basque) is the name of certain snacks typically eaten in bars, traditional in northern Spain and especially popular in the Basque country. Originating in the Basque Country, they are usually eaten in bars or taverns as a small snack while hanging out with friends or relatives; thus, they have a strong socializing component, and they are usually regarded as a cornerstone of Basque Culture and Society. They are related to tapas, the main difference being that pinchos are ordered and eaten individually, whilst tapas are usually a small portion of food to be shared. In addition, tapas are served on a small dish, whist pinchos are generally arranged on bread slices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pincho)."

Organic tomatoes with feta and basil topped with lime olive oil, salt and pepper

Super photo!

Note:

"girls night last night. wow haven't done that in a long time. it was loads of fun preparing for the tapas night. the organic tomatoes with marinated feta and basil is surely a hit. there were other things on the menu: grilled eggplant with crumbed feta, spanish chorizos, patata frittas with smoked paprika, sauteed mushrooms, kalamatta olives, cut turkish bread then you can dipped it in a bowl of lime olive oil and cracked pepper, bread and cheeses oh and of course all the champagne you can have. yum yum yum indeed."

So that was lunch. How about a post-coma snack? With tea?

Utterly incredible~
