Visit with an old friend

Our old university friend, John, came for drinks and snacks after his class yesterday and brought a lovely bottle of Port.  Lots of laughs as usual and we're very pleased for his partner, Nourdine, as he is the Executive Chef at an interesting new restaurant close to us called "Ten Ten Tapas".  It sounds like a great concept and is in a great location along the seawall.   There was a Groupon offered this week so we plan to go this weekend and test it out and hope to be in the sunshine given the location.

One of the things I served as a snack were these freshwater prawn skewer I bought at Safeway recently.  We were all in heaven at the taste and John is a gourmet.  Definitely recommended.  I brushed on some olive oil then after baking squeezed a bit of lemon juice and sprinkled some Herbes de Provence on them...fantastique!
