Spicy Enchiladas

Date & Time: September 24, 2009 6:30pm

Main Course: Mild and spicy enchiladas prepared by the wonderful Carolyn. Carolyn cooked up some chicken and made two trays of enchiladas that turned out rather tasty. The only problem is they tend to get a little soggy from being prepared earlier in the day.

Sides: Sour cream; potatoes and chorizo sausage, needed more sauages; Guacamole home made; homemade jalapeños hot sauce; chips..

Beverage / Libation: large bottle and a jug of wine.

Desert: none

Guests: Tom and Sue.

Misc.: The younger children enjoyed a dancing to the chicken dance, Funky Town and Elvis after dinner. Noah apparently has grown up and no longer participates in the dance party but would rather play video games; makes me sad...

Cheers,

Smoke and Pork go so well together!

Date & Time: September 11, 2009 6:30pm
Main Course: Labor day involved getting up at 5 in the morning to light the Weber gas grill and begin the long smoking process of two pork country roasts. At about 1pm the roast came off the grill; admittedly they could have used a couple hours longer but I was hungry. The pork was chopped, not pulled, and we ate and ate and ate. What little was left over was served again for tacos on burrito night. And I have to say it made very tasty tacos at that. In addition some ground beef was browned with some onions cumin salt and garlic for tacos for Noah. Doesn't like smoked pork, he's lucky we don't kick him out... Anyway the meat was served in either flour or corn tortillas or crunchy tacos shells.
Sides: Roasted corn salad/salsa, on labor we also served the sweetest sweet corn ever by roasting it on the grill until the kernels started to brown the leftovers were used in the this super sweet salad;Sour cream; no beans this week there were black beans int he corn salad; chips; Mexican shredded cheese; homemade guacamole with lots of cilantro; and diced jalapenos.
Beverage / Libation: bottle of Chardonnay of some sort and we finished off some other chardonnay in the fridge.
Desert: Nothing was served but the boys each had a bowl of homemade ice cream left over form labor day as well.
Guests: Tom and Sue and Aunt Lizzard
Misc.: Well I got this one posted in a timely fashion and I even remember what happened last night. I have lots to say here but I have no more time. I don't really have anything to say but I do have to go... Hmm the pork sandwiches on Monday were tasty.
Cheerio,

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.
