Mexican Fiesta

Tonight, Gina and Justin had Ben, Vana and I over for a Mexican Fiesta!! Ben made his famous chipotle dip, and Vana made her famous black bean dip! DIPS!

Gina made us all fancy black currant margaritas with party umbrellas. So of course we had to have a photo shoot!

Dinner!

A sea of enchiladas.

Dinner is served!

After the delicious dinner of enchiladas, rice, beans, and salad, we played a great game of Pictionary. In other words, it was the sort of night I imagine Heaven to be like.

Christmas Dinner

Justin arrived yesterday from England to visit Gina, and since he and Gina didn't get to celebrate Christmas together, they celebrated today! First they had Christmas morning together, with homemade croissants, and then had a big Christmas Dinner feast where we all got to finally meet Justin!

Gina attempting to cook the pork while getting showered with hugs from Justin:

Ben tried to steal the only leftover croissant by sticking it in his pocket. Unfortunately Gina had already promised it to Darlene. DAMN!!!

My Christmas hair!

That salad was delicious. And LOOK at the jingle bell salad scoopers!

Tossing the salad.

The rolls were AMAZING.

Dinnertime!

I take rolls VERY seriously.

Cooking Club

Tonight was Cooking Club at Yumi's house. Oh man, was it delicious. Summer made these little appetizers that were dates stuffed with goat cheese, and then wrapped in prosciutto. YUM!!!!!

Here they are next to the salad I brought.

Summer made these little individual bloody mary soups for everyone, and Yumi made a delicious cocktail with vodka, grapefruit juice and pomegranite liquor.

For the main course, Yumi made coq au vin! FANCY! Look at that steam rising up! Ooooh and look at that roll. mMMMMmmm!!!!!

Nancy made dessert! It was a delicious citrus layer cake.

Summer was like "Get your own!"

SO GOOD!

We ate too much.
