One reason I have come to love weekends is because I actually have the time to cook. We have had a surplus of veggies lately which have made for some good eating! Sunday night dinner though was particularly fun and yummy.Amy and I spent Sunday evening making Mexican and dancing to Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Amy made her fantastic guacamole. I am addicted! We made lentil tacos. I made Mexican rice. We were pleased with the final product. I just enjoyed being in one of my favorite places (the kitchen) with my dear friend.
