Dear Tapas, I love you. Let me count the ways:

1) You believe in portion control. (Yes, small is sexy.)

2) You are diverse in flavor. (Lots of choices depending on the mood of the moment.)

3) You come in hot and cold. (Lots of choices depending on the weather.)

4) You are an instant European vacation. (But not as expensive.)

5) You can be a snack, or an entire meal. (Just don't make it both.)

6) You taste divine accompanied with a glass of fruity sangria. (Or two.)

7) You are never a let down. (Enough said.)

8) You don't clog the fridge with left-overs that won't be eaten anyway. (Unlike the typical U.S.A. hungry-man dinners at chain restaurants. Gross.)

9) You are reasonably priced. (The more often to enjoy you, my dear.)

10) You subscribe to the "good food, good friends, good wine" philosophy. (The more the merrier.)
