    A home cooked Mexican meal

    By bigpumpkin | November 12, 2009

    For the Hubs’s birthday this month, Mom cooked him the following meal which we wiped out COMPLETELY. I only took photos half way so some of the food was already gone. Like the fajitas……

    It was an intimate gathering of just Tok-Tok and Nana, Uncle Ben, the Hubs and me and our girls.

    mexican-meal-1

    A very delicious moist roast chicken with onion and celery filling. Those baked potato wedges? They are the absolute BEST.

    .

    mexican-meal-5

    Home baked Nachos with cheese and jalapenos. They were spicy!

    .

    mexican-meal-2

    Home made guacamole. I chopped the coriander and was obviously too lazy to mince it really fine as you can see :-)

    .

    mexican-salsa

    Home made Tomato and Mango Salsa.

    .

    mexican-meal-8

    Sour Cream.

    .

    mexican-meal-9

    Shredded iceberg lettuce.

    .

    mexican-meal-6

    Beef tenderloin…..

    .

    mexican-meal-7

    Rocket salad.

    .

    Put all that into a fajita and stuff into mouth.

    mexican-meal-3

    Mom also baked an orange cake and Tee decorated it. And planted the candles. And blew them out. But of course……

    mexican-meal-4

    .

    And at the end of dinner, we posed a funny face photo for the road……..see how the Hubs stretched T2’s face just so she could have a funny face too? Poor baby. She really did not ask to be born into our crazy family.

      Wow! That’s what I called 5 star life style. As food is the most important thing in our daily life. Now, you got a super chef for free. Posh and cool! Hahahaha……
