Yes you heard right: tacos. It was such a treat! Marina shredding the chicken herself and smuggled some taco seasoning on her flight back. Lauren made a bean salad and brought beer. Needless to say, it was all amazing.
The British girls had their first tacos ever with us. I even made some quesadillas, which were also new to them.
For dessert I served coconut flan. We were filled to the brim. Recipe here.
The night was a success.
Package From Home
Mummy and Gma sent me some goodies last week. I love packages from home. It's easy to get homesick being so far away. Little things from home make me feel like I'm not so far removed.
In my package was Hawaiian Pancake mix. I made it for breakfast and served it with the coconut syrup which was also in my box. Oh la la, while my French family enjoyed it, I was reminiscing about the beautiful hawaiian islands and spending time in the states with my family over breakfast. Food, it always seems to me, is something that always brings people together.
For me, food has been something that reminds me of home. Hence all the cooking I've been up to lately. However, my creations don't come close to the real thing.
Guess I'll just have to wait a little longer.
