Tapas for Two

Tonight it was just me and the love of my life. I decided to make tapas and have several dishes. We started with marinated olives, Spanish chorizo, fontina and smoked gouda cheese.
Next on the menu was a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing.
This was followed by oysters roasted in the wood oven. They had a compound butter made with DP Game On rub, Chipotle Gouda, and Chipotle Cholula hot sauce.
The next course was bread toasted over coals and drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar, S&P, and chives.
This was followed with another round of oysters. These were made with compound butter, smoked gouda, and Yellow Bird Japapeno hot sauce.
Folks, this did not suck. I’m a happy camper. Life is good. Thanks for looking.

That it is really your wife, and she is just camera shy also makes sense.

Thanks for the comments. This cook was a lot of fun. Interestingly, it was also a laid back and easy cook. We just ate a little, cleaned the dishes, then cooked and ate a little more - rinse, wash, repeat. If it had been for a crowd it would have been different. The oysters are really special. I’ve never been a fan of oysters. I can’t imagine eating a raw ouster. These will convert anyone I think...

I'll echo the other comments. All fine looking food. I've been tempted to try oysters, not so my wife.
Side story. My wife and I and kids and MIL went to visit my daughter in Chi. We were looking for somewhere to eat lunch, and an apartment mate made a suggestion. Everyone heard "I know a good topless bar." I mentioned that my youngest was just 17. My MIL mentioned she was over over 67, and she thought she was still too young for a place like that. After some moments of confusion, were learned it was a "tapas" bar, something we knew nothing about.
Turned out to be one of the best meals we'd ever had.
