A little note for those new to my blog:

I have wanted to move to Australia for years and have just recently made the leap across the big pond!
This blog chronicles my adventures and discoveries.
Please take the time to look through my archives and start my journey from the beginning!

Salsa = party

It seems my salsa and guacamole make people go crazy. Elise went out and bought a bunch of beer, three bottles of champagne, three bottles of wine, two bottles of vodka, brats, sausages, and various other Dutch food. She also bought a bunch of string lights and decorations along with a big pink trashcan that was to be filled with ice and pulled out by the pool. Clearly a big party was in the works, after all, it's Friday night!

As soon as we got back from work we started decorating, hanging lights, buying ice, getting last minute ingredients for salsa and inviting whoever we could get ahold of. I wanted to make my salsa a bit more spicy this time to make it more of a dip and less of something you pile mass quantities of on a chip.

This is it with just the primary ingredients:

Looks like Mexico!!!


I knew it was going to be a fun party so I gussied up aswel. My salsa was a huge hit all around and my guacamole came out a bit late for everyone to enjoy but it was really good (patting myself on the back).

In the end we had about 20 people show up including Elise's parents which were really fun to talk to. I showed everyone how to dress a beer and much fun was had by all! Best of all, when Elise and the boys wanted to go to the club, I stayed home, my elbow and bum still bear the marks from last week! 

I think the next time I make something for people I will make green enchiladas... now to find tomatillos...
