Our Camino buddies Catherine and Dana will be here later today.  We are walking in the morning from 9 to 10, if you want to join us.  Then tapas at 5 PM.  So I will blog from tapas later with the gals fresh back from Spain.

Jennifer came over for tapas last evening.  It is  fun to sit outside on the deck on these evenings.  Hard to imagine winter and the rain and the dark of a few months ago.  You have to live in the Northwest to really get that.

Anyway, the important thing is that she brought this little baggie with some sprigs of a new mint that  I  have never seen or tasted before.  As a new cook I thought it was nice.  Just a little gift from the herb garden.   Just another form of beauty to enjoy.  I have been concentrating on visual beauty lately with all the wonderful blooms of spring and Jennifer comes in with this little baggie of something different.  I like it, thanks Jennifer.

All right, be back later.  Maybe we will pass the iPad around like we did a at tapas in Spain.  Just trying to capture the moment.  Make it happen, love, Felipe.
