Tapas in Rice

Asparagus spears and a fantastic Artichoke heart salad
 with a great vinaigrette.
I do loves me some Tapas...

Had a wonderful treat last night and visited Mi Luna (thank you, Groupon).  I have always been a fan of Tapas because of its nature.  It is a share-able notion.  You order a plate and a group of you share the food. That way... the offerings that you can sample expand according to the number of folks in attendance.  When I was in Spain (Bilbao), you could actually roam to other folks tables/bars and sample the offerings they had and vice versa (have fork, will travel).  It is actually a lot of fun.

The other lovely thing about the evening is that Mi Luna is situated in the Rice Village.  This neighborhood (adjacent to Rice University) is a real treat to wander around and contains a real plethora of shops and restaurants.  From a chocolate bar, used book shop, a couple of wonderful furniture shops and even a Sherwin Williams paint store thrown in for good measure.  After dinner, just walking around the residential area is wonderful with all of the Live Oak trees lining the streets.

Wonderful way to spend an evening...
