My little spanish fiesta

Last night, I hosted book club, and made a Spanish-themed spread... sangria, gazpacho, olives, spinach and chick pea salad, patatas bravas, seasoned almonds, Spanish cheeses, and some other treats. 

I had fun using my mortar and pestle for the first time!

We enjoyed the book (written by a friend's fiance)...

and we had a great time catching up!
