Oh wow... Just got back from a dinner with a few folks from the P. school: faculty like I used to be. Went to Spain 92 on Rte. 202. I'd gone there twice before: once for a party and second for my birthday last year. I knew that the food was fantastic, but tonight's meal was unbelieveable. I am far too full for my own good: we started with two appetizers, chorizo and shrimp, both of which were fantastic. Then the truly outstanding lobster special, which was a lobster stuffed with seafood and rice. It was incredible. The lobster was cooked to perfection; the claws were succulent and juicy, the tail was delicious, if a little on the rubbery side. The stuffing was this intensely flavorful mixture of what must have been crabmeat and rice, and a good amount of some spices that I couldn't make out. The drawn butter was tasty but ultimately unnecessary, since there was so much flavor in the lobster itself. The four of us finished off two pitchers of an excellent and very refreshing sangria, and headed for dessert: a flan, a crema catalonia, and an out-of-place, but much-craved-for slice of cheesecake. I was bowled over: I'm very happy right now. Now, I know what you're thinking; how can P. school teachers afford to go out for lobster dinners? It's just that I won't be eating for the next two days. But it was worth it.
