Spanish Night

I had Spanish Night awhile back but the pictures were on a friend's camera phone and I only got hold of them this week. Now need to see if I can remember what I made that night....

It was Tapas and Paella that ruled the night, and after one too many glasses of Sangria, we were all very jolly. After dinner, my new friend SpaceyChicken couldn't get her mind outta the gutter when we were playing Dirty Mind. All in all a very fun night.
