Luna Red with Dottie and Moots

as
YOU
know
from
my
many posts
I
am
a
self- diagnosed
delicious food
addict..

that said,
I
emphasize
DELICIOUS FOOD


It
has
been
quite a while
since
Annie and I
(aka Dottie and Moots)
hit
downtown SLO
for
a delicious
(emphasize DELICIOUS)
dinner
together.
We
decided
on
IMG_1801
known
for
it's
tapas
but
the
entrees
are
sensational,
as well

Starting off,
hmmm
what to eat? what to eat?
what to drink?

a
Lunarita
and
a glass of
Verdad Albarino
nice!
Cheers!
a toast
to
Dottie and Moots'
night out
(see those potatoes? they are bistro spuds: crisp fingerling potatoes, marinated olives, sambal rouille)
yes, delicious!

spice roasted beets: fennel, red onion, grilled ricotta salata, herb vinaigrette
the grilled ricotta salata atop the beets was mmmmmhmmmm

and then,
red cabbage-apple potstickers spiced beet coulis, coconut cream, cilantro 
the red cabbage danced in our mouths

Talk about a dance,
the autumn roast squash, chili spiked pepitas, arugula, raisins, wild rice, toasted walnut vinaigrette
was
a
party
so many autumn flavors and spices

Satiated,
not stuffed
after
delicious tapas
(emphasize DELICIOUS)
and
wine
