Friday Night Fiesta

Last week we catered a rehearsal dinner with a Mexican theme. This home was created for parties- complete with a covered patio, sweeping views, and a fantastic bar. The guests played “Murder in Margaritaville”, which is a great way for everyone to interact and mucho fun. They all got into it, complete with costumes à la Jimmy Buffet.

We served Quesadillas cooked on site, Tostadas topped with Ceviche, Felipe’s fabulous Salsa, Guacamole & Tortilla Chips, Carne Asada, Salmon with Mango Black Bean Salsa, Romaine & Jicama Salad, Corn Tomato & Green Bean Salad, zesty Fruit Salad with Cayenne and Cheddar Corn Muffins. ¡Que Bueno! It was all washed down with traditional & strawberry Margaritas. After the meal and the mystery was solved, everyone relaxed over Mexican Chocolate Cheesecake with a Bittersweet Chocolate Diablo Sauce. It was an evening to remember even if no one jumped into the pool!

Our sweet, little Kindi is getting married! To celebrate the occasion, the GP girls threw her a 'Game Night' bachelorette party at JR's house. We whipped out the game Apples to Apples, noshed on fresh strawberry ginger shortcakes (made by JR), peanut butter-filled chocolate cupcake and lemon-blueberry bars (both made by Mandy) and sipped wine and ginger ale. It was a lovely evening, a wonderful time to be ourselves, have fun outside of the shop and celebrate Kindi. This is definitely a party we will duplicate in the near future even if there is no real reason other than to have fun!

This party was so easy to pull off and you can do it too with no thought at all. Invite a small group of family and/or friends, pull out a board game, stop by Gourmet Productions to pick up some meal fixin's, Ben's delectable dessert, some wine (or Izzi's for the non-drinking crowd) and presto, a great party! In a world where we rush around too much, it is nice to slow down and play with our family and friends...and eat some wonderful food!
