Spanish Tortilla Dinner

I am an incredibly lucky lady. Since we met, Jason has been spoiling me and taking amazing care of me.....but who would have guessed that I'd marry such an AMAZING chef. On one of our first dates, I remember the first dinner Jason cooked for me - chicken breast and red pepper ala George Foreman Grill and microwaved rice.  It was tasty meal,  but we didn't eat until 11:30pm....on a work night! Now, in 30 min time, he can whip up masterpiece! Last night, we had a spanish themed dinner.  A co-worker of Jason's had made empanadas, so he was inspired to make spanish tortilla. 
We rounded the meal out with some marcarona almonds, olives, proscuitto, caprese salad and toasted bread with honeyed goat cheese with fig spread.  Jason's brother was very impressed when we showed him our dinner via Skype. 
We decided to drink our Spanish wine  (we brought this back from our trip to Madrid in 2008 - from our friend Eduardo's little wine shop)
Here is the step by step recipe for Spanish tortilla:

For a tasty lunch treat, we had french baguette sandwiches with a little mayo, sliced left-over tortilla espanola, tomato, basil and proscuitto. Yum!
