Yummy food

This post is mostly to show how crazy it's been. Our friends came to visit for a few days (on their way down to California.) They are friends from when I was a kid in California...eventually we moved to Utah and they moved to Colorado. They always stop by on their way down to Cali...also their daughter lives here in Utah now with her hubby, so they come to see her too, but I tell myself they come to see us. LOL Their daughter had school and work the two days they were here, so they spent lots of time at my house cooking....it's was tiring but heavenly.

Here is Gui teaching me to make tamales.


Berto showing off his tamale mix.


Those were the only two pics I got because we were super busy. We started out making Bertos famous barbeque sauce...okay he made it while I was at Gardner Village with the kids. We then marinated the beef and crock potted it all day...yum. Next we made salsa, guacamole, and fajitas for lunch. I of-course ate too much and paid with heart burn. Next came the tamales we were up until 10 cooking....tired!!!!! I think we made over 50 tamales. Next day I used the rest of the barbeque sauce and did chicken, rice, and lots of enchiladas. My freezer is stocked full of yummy mexican food and I am happy to say it's ready for "baby season".

Thanks Gui and Berto for the cooking lesson and yummy food in my freezer. Gui wants me to teach her lasagna and alfredo sauce next....it's a plan!!!
