Tuesday Fiesta

Attendees: Peanut & 3-B (Noncommittal Nancy was invited- we're still waiting to hear from her)
Cocktail: REAL margaritas (and when those were done, Coronas)
Appetizer: Chips & Chile Con Queso
Main Course: Tofu Fajitas
Dessert: Girl Scout Cookies!

What better way to celebrate making it through another Tuesday than with a fiesta! 3-B prepared most of the meal, though I took care of the margaritas.... and dessert.


A fiesta isn't really a fiesta without real margaritas. We made these with freshly squeezed lime juice, a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice, triple sec, and (of course) TEQUILA!
3-B and I collaborated on some homemade guacamole (we like it CHUNKY, not MUSHY)...

... and she took care of the salsa while I showered after returning from the gym. OMG- 3-B joined the JCC today and (1) got a 50% discount because she works at an organization that serves the Jewish population; and (2) indicated she was Muslim on her application form. God bless America (and pour me another margarita PRONTO!)

Peanut did 3 things: (1) drink margaritas, (2) heat the tortillas in the microwave, and (3) some of the dishes (not pictured).
This is the "meat" of 3-B's tofu fajitas. She taught me the correct way to marinate and fry tofu, mixed with onion and peppers.
But by the time we were ready for dessert, we realized that we all should be asleep! So we went to bed, each with our favorite girl scout cookie in hand. A prize to anyone who can tell me each of our favorites!

3B-Samoas (also known as Caramel Delights in Florida)
Rajeev - Shortbread Cookies (also known as Trefoils in states other than Florida)
Peanut - Thin Mint (which I think is nationally recognized as the best cookie eaten frozen.)

WHERE'S MY PRIZE????

By the way, those are THE three kinds of cookies that I order from those fine bakers at the Girl Scout factory! Love, Love, Love!!!
