Tapas
.
Marinated Cheese (Romano marinated in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and red pepper)
Garlic Shrimp (from Mark Bittman's The Best Recipe in the World)
Spanish Hot Chocolate (also from Bittman's TBRitW)
.
If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the bruschetta - absolutely 5-star, restaurant quality. It has a lot of steps, but you can take some shortcuts, like using jarred roasted red peppers rather than roasting them yourself.

I'm not posting the recipes here because the post would be enormous, but if you are reading this and plan to make any of the recipes, let me know and I'll give you my notes on the recipes.

My first foray into Spanish cuisine was lots of fun - I'm thinking of hosting a tapas party or making tapas for the next gourmet club night.

You cooked for 6 hours for your anniversary? At least you went out the night before for dinner. I know you love to cook but for a special occasion, it's nice to sit back and relax for a meal...
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary!
Well, the night before was our actual anniversary, and that's when we went out. But since the boys were at my parents, it was fun to take the time to cook!
I can't believe your husband made you slave over a hot stove for 6 hours on your anniversary!
LOL - totally jk, and Happy 10th Anniversary! :) I'm assuming this makes me quite old.
I think that sounds like a lot of fun, and you are adorable as ever. I really wish you didn't live so far away because I'd like to take part in these cooking marathons (the eating part).
Jeff was kind of shaking his head at me midway through, saying, "You really just love this, don't you?".
I wish you were closer, too! We could do some damage.
