Lot’s of food
Date & Time: August 13, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Ground beef tacos. We didn’t have a taco seasoning mix so we had to whip up a home made kind. There’s lots of recipes on the internet for taco seasoning. The one I choose was pretty good but I’ve used a better one in the past.
Sides: Sour cream; black beans with chorizo sausage; salsa homemade with homegrown tomatoes and some store bought tomatoes; Guacamole home made; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips; lettuce; Mexican shredded cheese; taco sauce; and potatoes with chorizo.
Beverage / Libation: wine, a couple bottles of it and three flavors Jarritos for the kids… Desert: I forget
Guests: Tom and Sue; Sarah, Jake and Dillon; and Liz.
Misc.: Following dinner the kids ran off to play and the younger kids had a dance party in the front room.
Cheers,

Party Time
Date & Time: June 6,2009 6:00pm
Main Course: Steak.... Chicken and more chicken, with a couple vegetables. The grill was lit once again and some boneless chicken breast and thighs were cooked along with some thick sliced onions and bell peppers (the opinions and peppers were supplied by the guest from a farmer basket). Additionally some sort of super thin beef was cooked. The beef was not of very high quality but ended up tasting fairly good after being marinated in lime juice and cumin and being grilled. The food was all served with flour and corn tortillas.
Sides: Refried pinto beans with Chorizo sausage; homemade guacamole hmm; onions and chorizo, hmmm; salsa from a bucket (it looked better then it was) but my tomatoes were still yellow next week they should be red); yellow shredded cheese; and Tabasco sauce and Reds hot sauce (need to get some jalapeños to make homemade sauce).
Beverage / Libation: Jug of Livingston Wine. Lemonade, apple juice and water.
Desert: Sugar or chocolate chip cookies that Eileen brought which we made sandwich cookies out of.
Guests: Tom; Aunt Liz; Eileen; Tony; Maggie; Asa and Audrey.
Misc.: The kids all ran around and had fun. We were planning on eating at 6pm but didn't really sit down until 6:40 since the kids were having fun on the pirate ship.

Main Course: Smoke. I smoked some chicken breast on the Weber, they may have turend out too smokey but they were good with all the other stuff on the burrito. They were served on smaller flour tortillas heated on the smokey grill and grilled onions.
Sides: Refried pinto beans with Chorizo sauagse; homemade guacamole hmm; homemade corn and bean salsa (that I used the cilantro in teh guacamole); salsa from a jar and chips; yellow shredded cheese; and red hot sauce.
Beverage / Libation: wine and lots of it. We finished an open bottle finished another bottle and opened another bottle...
Desert: Cupcakes from Wyatt's birthdya party and icecream..
Guests: Tom and Aunt Liz.
Misc.: Well it was a busy weekend and I've already forgotten what we did on burrito night... Plus I missed two burrito night ipdates since we've been back from vacation. One night we had standard crispy tacos and anotehr nigth I think we had grilled chicken thighs. I had a really good quote for the title this week but I forgot that also. I gues it's old age.
Thank you for tuning in,
