So far I'm behind in my own plan-making... but I sure hope to enjoy the summery flavors of chili, corn, meat, beer, and cilantro & lime as the big day rolls 'round! What will YOU be cooking?

Woo-hoo!!!! And I will be dancing and enjoying some live Mariachi mucis right from my front porch!!! We have a neighbor who uses their garage for band practice and they are good, I love it, and it's such happy music, well, except this morning he started practicing at 7:30 A.M. and woke me up, but oh well it's one of the down-sides to living across the street from the band practice house

I think I might be tired of Mexican food for a few days. When I'm there I eat as much traditional Mexican food as I can get my hands on. I ate ceviche almost every day for lunch, yum yum, in addition for dinners I had Chicken mole, Chicken enchiladas, Whole grilled fish (amazing), chili rellenos, ropa vieja, potatoes with chorizo, octopus with a delicious tamarind sauce, fish fillet with spicy tomato sauce, chicken in pumpkin seeds sauce, empanadas made with corn tortillas, tons of really fresh fruit and lots of flan. Not to mention an embarassing number of cocktails. Lucky for me my other favorite thing to do while I'm there is snorkel and with all that swiming I only gained 1 pound.
