Last night Sarraz and I cooked a Mexican fiesta for our friends Ben and Tracy. I was in celebration on Tracy's 29th birthday which we missed the week before so we decided to go all out. I actually started prep on Thursday night for the dinner putting together a big bowl of my secret recipe salsa and a recent addition to my mexi repertoire: homemade chipotle sauce. I took some pics of the prep and consumption for you all.

And then we ate them!:


So the rest of the night was filled with more drinking, laughing, dancing, watching Dirty Dancing, doing some dirty dancing, more drinking, attempting to watch Pulp Fiction, coming close to falling asleep on the couch and then finally, crashing out around 3am...

Considering we drank so much we all felt pretty good this morning, although we didn't look it:


Probably gonna take it easy tonight and chill at home. I <3 live right about now.
