Spanish tonight

Back home, cookbooks and pots and pans, oven and ingredients, inspiration and friends.  We're having our friends K & K over this evening, and we're trying more recipes from The New Spanish Table: pork shoulder braised in wine and dried fruit, rustic smoky mashed potatoes, and spinach with raisins and pine nuts.  We're trying to be creative in this fashion at least once a week: and fortunately our friends seem to be more than willing to act as guinea pigs:-)

Yours, inspired,
N.
