Look what I found!
The last couple of weeks have been a tad hectic, and the weekends we usually spend out and about. So today when were moving things around I realized I hadn’t transfered photos from my camera to the computer in quite a while. Actually, since Christmas…
I had totally forgotten about the photos of our New Year’s Eve dinner which consisted of the following:
- Quiche lorraine
- Brochettes (red pepper, cheese, sausage, and onion)
- Cream of bean soup with avocado & chipotle
- Tequila chipotle chicken with grilled onions
- Mexican rice
- Cheesecake topped with strawberries and almonds
- Margaritas
- and Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Rosé (champagne)
Christmas dinner with friends
Just like last year we will be spending Christmas in Morelia with Goose’s family, so this year in order to have a celebration of our own, we decided to host an early Christmas dinner with a few friends and Goose’s parents.
I figured why not try a few recipes for the first time (something that most people think is a bad decision since you never know how it will come out). The menu consisted of potatoes au gratin, spinach & ricotta lasagna, glazed ham, thinly sliced turkey and an incredible made-from-scrath “Death by Chocolate” cake with freshly made cranberry-pommegranate jam, covered with more chocolate and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.
Every dish turned out incredible and I couldn’t have been any happier :)
Mini Burger Monday!
Today was a day off for most of us here in Mexico, and to make the best of it we decided to cook dinner together, followed by prepping ingredients for a cake I will be working on tomorrow.
Dinner was pretty simple, mini burgers, mashed potatoes and sliced tomatoes. It wasn’t until I finished preparing my plate that I noticed it looked like a smiley face :)
