As if the date & my 'subtle hints' didn't give it away...yesterday it was time to break out the sombreros & an obscene amount of avocados and partake in a Mexican fiesta, courtesy of Cinco de Mayo!
My friend made some AWESOME chicken enchiladas...
...and some bright & SUPER FRESH mango salasaaaaa....
While I tackled Bobby Flay's Queso Fundido...
...and some guacamole based on one of our favs from the Philly spot, El Vez: Basil & roasted garlic...
OLE!
We all scarfed our plates clean and left nary a leftover (with possibly some bowls being completely scrapped clean...that's all I'm sayinJ). Everything was sooooooooooo delicious!
And in what has become OUR little tradition with our BFF's, the flan & sopapilla desserts are swapped for one of our infamous 'ice cream socials'J
This time coming from the grocery store rather than Ohio or New Orleans...hehehehhehehehee...
And in true 'social' fashion, the bowls are ditched for single spoons to sample all the flavors...
And no one is shy to DIG IN!!
I think the group favorite was the Cappuccino gelato, but my heart belonged to the cinnamon bun. It conjured up instant "FALL" thoughts with it's cinnamon-y goodness, and how could I NOT possibly love that to bits???
Well, that's not all the FIESTA flavors in our future. Since I was out & about last week, we decided instead of a week-long Mexican celebration to lead INTO Cinco...this year we're using it as a kick off point to celebrate ALL WEEK, starting tonight with a fiesta salad night. Ay Yi Yi!
And in 'exercise news'...I thought you'd find it funny that I was only 1 of 3 people at boxing class yesterday morningJ I guess the GORGEOUS day chased everyone outsideJ hehehehehe So let's say we all got an INTENSE non-stop workout. And here I had just hoped to get my own bag this week, so I didn't have to share time with anyone. Be careful what you wish for! My forearms just tensed at the memoryJ hahahhahahaha
Have a great Monday!
