Night off / No Number

Last night we went to dinner at some friends' home, and the only Mexican dish in sight was the FLAN I took for dessert. We considered this our "night off" from Mexican food and cooking.

Tonight presents an interesting challenge: we are going to another party, which starts at 4PM. We have all been asked to bring an appetizer to share. I have committed to taking CEVICHE and TOSTADAS, although I have been thinking about changing to another dish - a shrimp and avocado salad served on tostadas or sturdy tortilla chips.

Since we don't want to fall out of the routine of trying to eat Mexican food most days of the week, we will be on the lookout for something other than deviled eggs and raw veggies with spinach dip to eat at this party today. I hope someone shows up with a good guacamole, at the very least. Maybe I'll just make a double recipe of our CEVICHE (or the shrimp and avocado salad) just so that we get our Mexican food fix for the day.

Today is also grocery shopping day, so we will be checking out good corn tortillas, Mexican cheeses, and a few more varieties of peppers.

Wish us luck - buena suerte - and to everyone reading ¡Buen fin de semana!
