Ole! Ole! Ole!

Hosted by Heather, the latest Cooking Club celebrated a belated Cinco de Mayo (Mexican theme). We were 4 members down this time around and as a result, missing the two most important courses: drinks* and dessert. Thankfully, we were able to rally.

Michele claimed that she "didn't do anything special" when she made her guacamole. However, please note the chips served on the side. Those were corn tortillas 5 minutes prior to this picture. Woman fries her own chips.

She also sauteed and seasoned pumpkin seeds in a delicious sweet and spicy mixture.

Bonnie saved the day by bringing a 12 pack of Pacifico. Louis also made his first appearance but he drank formula (not beer).

I (Janet) made a romaine lettuce salad (with black beans, corn, radish, avocado, etc.) with a honey, lime, jalapeno dressing.

Along with the beer was tequila. In champagne glasses. Heather is a classy broad.

Bonnie made a delicate, yet spicy, Mexican soup with dumplings made out of same deliciousness as tamales.

Louis was very interested in what was going on.

But not quite sure who to trust...

Heather made incredible vegetable enchiladas. They were stuffed with all kinds of goodness.

Elizabeth rounded us out with an incredible pico de gallo rice side dish.

Michele hung out with Lou.

Bonnie practiced her portrait taking skills on Elizabeth (my camera, but Bonnie was the photographer for 95% of these shots).

Heather the hostess.

Bonnie and Lou try to catch a nap.

Delicious food and good company, as always. It took all of 5 minutes for the first poop story to be told, which I think it an all time record (usually it's about 30 seconds).

*This was to be Kate's inaugural Cooking Club and she was doing drinks, but she was unable to make it at the last minute. To make it up to us next time she's going to have to do both drinks and dessert. And it better be good. :)
