The Monday after....5/8

The dinner party was a success. What turned out to be Mexican instead of Chinese consited of:

Menu:
Chicken Enchilladas
guacamole
salsa
4 color salsa
chips
flan
tacos
Enchilazana or Chaquillas A tomatillo, jack, garlic, onion, cillantro sause with chicken and layered corn tortillas like lazagna.
and a big salad
dinner for 6
I had one vegetarian and one diabetic so I had a lot of low fat things like turkey tacos with corn adn black beans!
(blastfamy!)
What a lot of work, my feet hurt. Maybe if you take it in stages of an hour or two you can do it. Even with the food processor it was a lot of standing and chopping.

Karen came over on Fri. and helped with some prep too. It was great to get some one on one time with her. I was pooped.

I started on Friday making the stock chicken and the green sauce.

We had a good time. It's always nice to be with friends.

I don't know how Peggy does groups 25 and up my limit may be 10. (except for family) ((not that I have any here, so my friends are family)

On Sunday, we saw the play, The Cook. It was good. I prefer night, not Sun. afternoons. I feel I've wasted those Sundays and they are precious.

Boy, did I sleep.

I'm reading Dark Harbor by Stuart Woods.
