This weekend was busy busy, packed with two different food-parties, so naturally, I got sick right before them. Are you surprised? I'm not. Jess was so wonderful helping to feel better whenever she could; she did so much of the cooking this time and I'm so proud of how delicious it all came out :D
We invited our Chilean family-friends over for dinner on Saturday, after a work brunch I could not attend. Jess said it was fun though. We spent Friday prepping- shopping, chopping, and crying a little (damn onions!). Saturday was d-day, dinner-day that is. Our menu was as follows:
Appetizers: pebre- a famous Chilean salsa
cheesy pepper-paprika pitas
ensalada (salad haha)
Main course: garlic and olive oil tossed roasted vegetables
white wine risotto
sweet and spicy chicken
Dessert: (of course!) hot and gooey chocolate chip cookiewiches with vanilla ice cream
Here are some pics of the apartment (it was so clean!!), the dinner setup, and the food :D yummm. We had such a great time with our Berrios family. In between courses we played Language Jenga (aka, Jenga, but we had to say the numbers on our brick in another language). They only stayed a short while because it was already late, but we had a blast regardless. We love them so much and are so glad they came! We even sent them home with the rest of our pebre in a Tupperware. Imagine that, the gringas sending the Chileans home with homemade pebre! Hahaha, what a compliment to our cooking!
