  Tapas (really, antipasto), Spanish lamb stew, artichoke fritters , and roasted Japanese sweet potatoes. Apple pie and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. The tapas and stew were great. In addition to some Italian cold cuts and cheese, we had marcona almonds, chouriço, and manchego cheese. The lamb stew was excellent. We both thought the artichoke fritters were bland, and the Japanese sweet potatoes just sucked. I didn't roast them in their jackets because I ran out of time, so I peeled and sliced them before roasting. Fail. Just didn't come good. I also made an apple pie 

 I made borek - I saw R42's post and it looked really good. I also had an open package of phyllo dough in the freezer. It came pretty good. My partner really liked it. I doctored up the filling because I thought it was too sweet and also bland. Too much to go into here, but I got it to where I liked it. Next time I'll greatly reduce the pomegranate molasses the recipe called for. I also made Italian flat beans (romano) in tomato sauce, and corn on the cob.
