Mexican Night at the Casa

We inaugurated our outdoor patio this week with a Mexican Fiesta. Many of us from the States miss Mexican food more than any other cuisine and you can't find good Mexican meals at the restaurants here.

Everyone brought something and the food was YUMMY! We had guacamole, black bean salsa, pico de gallo, Mexican pumpkin soup, tequila shrimp, chicken enchaladas, bean burritos with all the trimmings including homemade green chile, Casa de Loma salad and Tre Leche Cake which, as the name implies, is soaked in three different types of milk.
We had a visitor from Colorado who happens to be a Mental Health Nurse at the VA in Denver. Small world!


She is visiting her sister who is one of my friends from the American Women's group. We also invited an Aussie nurse that G works with who had never had the pleasure of Mexican food before. In additon to us, there were one Brit, one Italian, five Coloradoans, two Texans, one Californian and two Puerto Ricans. It makes for scintillating conversation!

Note the fancy sheet tablecloth and decorative clothesline - musts for the most sophisticated do. We plan to have many more parties up here so come visit!
