Whenever time is on my side I like to prepare themed dinners for my husband and myself. Nothing fancy, but themed nonetheless.

Like maybe Gambas al Ajillo paired with Tortilla de Patata for a Spanish night, or perhaps a Roka Salata and kebab for our Mediterranean cravings.

Usually the dishes that I choose are simple and utterly easy to prepare, but interesting enough to lure my husband to come home early (hee hee!). For a night last month, when avocados were abundant and in season, we had an El Mexicano flair.
