Another fun night... hanging out in Jeanne's screened in porch with my cc gals. I just love that everyone makes the effort to meet. We have one on crutches healing a broken ankle, another who is wiped out from babysitting grandkids a few days in a row... an early riser that made a 4am trip to Brimfield, CT and those of us that work full time and just tackling the normal craziness. It would be easier to pass and relax at home - I so appreciate the dedication and effort we all put into keeping this club a success.
We kicked off the Mexican fiesta with delicious libations of sangria and tequila shots! A meal is not complete without a spirit or two that compliments the meal.

Food you ask? Yes - of course there was food too! The usual delicious eats all around. Cindy brought a corn, bean and shrimp salad. I should mention that the lettuce came from her garden too!

I brought ceviche - made with halibut and shrimp. I served them in corn tortilla cups that I should have baked a wee longer to make them crisper. The ceviche was tasty and will definitely try again.

Jeanne served chicken enchiladas that were warm gooey and yummy. The southwestern comfort food. Betty brought a taco casserole and Rita a white bean and chicken chili.

We completed our meal with an orange flavored flan that Denise made. It was so yummy and perfectly presented. She served the flan with homemade (but of course) whipped cream and strawberries. A great cap to the fabulous evening.
