What’s for dinner?
April 11, 2011
Here Comes Patio Weather! 

While one of my sisters and I met a friend for fajitas and margaritas at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, my other sister was on the verge of a 4-year-old-induced-packing hysteria. 

The family is going to Mexico on Saturday. My nephew started packing two weeks ago. Every day he has a new packing list, and every day he wants to know what he needs to take. On today’s packing list: Every single piece of his crayons, drawings he did in school, mini boxes of raisins, and all the contents from his dresser. 

Enjoying a beautiful evening outdoors with friends is one of the perks of not having kids, that and not having your other toddler hand you her poopy diaper while saying, “Mommy, dirdee dipwr”. 

Sis is barely holding on. Thoughts of margaritas on the beach keep her going. I love family trips, and I’m bummed I can’t go with them. Today’s posting is Haes’ Crazy Hot Guacamole, a tribute to the family vacay in Mexico and to all the beautiful summer evenings my friends and I will spend sipping on margaritas and not in crazy land.

Happy eating!
