Spanish night

Last night we invited some friends from church who are from Puerto Rico to share a meal with us. I made chicken escabeche with beans and rice -- yum yum! The Acevedo family brought a very good flan for dessert and some "tostones."

I had been wanting to have these families over for a while, but things kept getting in the way. But with my trip to Mexico, and Sam's soon move to Alabama, i had to get this together before it got too late.

Our guests were the Acevedo family with their two children and both their mothers, and Sam. Check out the girl in the middle - Maria Isabel - she will be our girl's babysitter :p We will need as much Spanish in our house as we can get.


With so many people to fit around the table, we had to get creative and bring our breakfast table to place next to our dinning room table.


All in all, it was a fun evening. We spoke Spanish for most of the evening and B's head did not hurt after 3 hours of it. It amazes me how well my husband speaks Spanish, and even after not using it for almost one year, he can still jump back at it with no problem.
