Fiesta Time!

To kick off my amazing Seattle weekend with the girls, Sherry hosted a fiesta on her fab "new" deck.  I couldn't believe how lucky we got with the weather—sitting outside all afternoon across the street from Greenlake, sipping margs and powering through months of much-needed girltalk catch-up.

She began with homemade shrimp ceviche loaded with spicy onions, jalapeno, tomato and bell pepper.  If this wasn't impressive enough, Melissa chimed in with her now-famous hummole (guacamole hummus!)  By dinnertime, I was expecting simplicity given the obvious trouble of the ceviche, but it only got better!  Tamales FROM SCRATCH!!  Amazing and so delicious with pork, potato and the creamiest cornmeal.

The piece de resistance was a chipotle brownie with basil-infused mango sorbet.  Sherry, you've outdone yourself.
