The great thing about those weeks around Christmas and New Years is that EVERYONE has just a little bit of extra time off ….
So we were able to get together with friends that we haven’t seen in months – because it is near impossible to coordinate schedules.
On New Year’s Eve (Friday) Andrew and I drove up to Santa Clarita for lunch at the Vasquez home …. They live in Saugus (same neighborhood as my aunt and uncle)
We got to meet their dog August – who is pretty much the *sweetest* most low-key dog ever….
Fernando is a FANTASTIC cook …. mmm m…. I never knew. I wish he could make me lunch every day… .
Beans and rice, carne asada, chicken, grilled veggies, tortillas and all ….
It was the BEST lunch ever. I wish I had more room in my belly for all that good food….
(apparently I didn’t get any photos of Jessica. Weird. But that’s her hand in the photo below. Proof)
We talked a lot about food and Jessica let me borrow Kitchen Confidential. So so good. I want to be a chef in my next life.
Holy cow … I’m getting hungry just looking at this photo …. yum yum yum.
Note: I am ALWAYS in the mood for fresh Mexican food.
Always.
Thanks Vasquezes !! Such a good lunch …. Next time we’ll have you over (but still make Fernando cook)
Yup, that’s my signature ponytail holder on my wrist
Can we snag the picture of Fernando cooking? He needs a new profile pic for Facebook . . .
