Welcome to Monday. Welcome to your week. And welcome to Coffee Break! This week I’m featuring my finds of super awesome small plates and/or tapas. Why small plates? Well, believe it or not this week’s post was inspired by the Superbowl…and the fact that I don’t watch it. Confused? Well, here goes.
Talk of Superbowl festivities are everywhere right now, and honestly it is all just wasted on me. However, there is one thing that I do really love about Superbowl time. The parties…nay, the food. Appetizers everywhere, right? And I’m kind of an appetizer junkie. I’m a tapas junkie, too. To me, it’s like winning the lottery when you are out to eat. When I’m really hungry and I go out to eat I often joke that I want to just order everything from the left side of the menu. With tapas, you actually can!
So basically, to leave a path of bread crumbs through this explanation of how my not watching the Superbowl equals a post on tapas…Superbowl=Appetizers=me thinking about eating tiny bits of food with many different flavors even if I don’t go to a Superbowl party. Tada!
