Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and I had a little dinner party to celebrate. Unfortunately, I made two mistakes I will learn from for the future: make the decorations the weekend before (I wasn't able to finish the day before) and not do it on a weekday(people were late and we felt pressured for time). Other than that, it was wonderful and the guests were absolutely five-star people. I am so blessed to know such amazing people.
We had a special "Guadalupe wine", salsa, guacamole, black bean and sweet potato enchiladas (thanks to my sister for that recipe), a "starry" and yummy apple pie made by my baker friend, a brochure to a Guadalupe pilgrimage in case anyone was interested, stars and Frida Kalho (Mexican) decorations, and a pinata made from a Pinterest idea that was too strong and we weren't able to break! ...
