We hosted a 40th bday party for Mike a bit after the fact….one month later. It was a Mexican theme, so we made a variety of Mexican dishes recommended by our dear friend Damian. I ordered a slew of dried peppers for this purpose and Mike found a butcher that sold the type of steak we needed. The result of our efforts……a beautiful spread of:
1. Chicken Mole
2. Carne Asada
3. Pork Carnitas
Accompanied by toasted tortillas and all the toppings. Yummo!
We had about 27 adults attend, and about 22 children. It was a big group! The kids were so well behaved and disappeared throughout the house putting on tattoo moustaches or dancing in the garage, which we had transformed into a disco room.
We set up two long tables outside for dinner with lanterns and fairy lights hung overhead. The kids ate first, then the adults. It was lovely.
Feliz cumpleaños amigo! Best party ever!
