So, this entire weekend is themed "International" food, dance and music! Pretty much my favorite things on this earth. This morning dad and I made Mexican omelets. What makes these omelets Mexican? The Chihuahua cheese! Yes, I look a good melting cheese, and this particular cheese is fantastic in quesadillas, enchiladas, and...omelets! We also sauteed mushrooms, green onions and fresh flat leaf Italian parsley in some EVOO. And the two special ingredients, the chihuahua cheese and red pepper flakes for some spice. So good! I suppose if you like meat for breakfast you could add chorizo, but i prefer meatless breakfasts.
Giada has inspired me to make Italian Wedding soup for dinner tonight. I used to get the stuff all the time at the dining courts in college b/c it was my favorite soup and perfect for a cold winter's day. The only change I plan to make to Giada's recipe is to use ground turkey in place of ground pork and beef. The soup will be served with crusty Vienna bread from Meijer bakery.
Tonight Aaron and I are going Swing dancing! It's been a long time since i've swing danced but it should be a total blast. Last night I went with mom, dad, and Tirzah to the GHDT (Gregory Hancock Dance Theater) production of "Fiesta" which is was in the actual dance studio. We sat at tables and were served Mexican wedding cookies, enchiladas, chips w/salsa, and beverages. The dance choreography was very interesting and intricate--mostly modern with some ballet and character in the mix. Mr. Hancock even wrote the music to "La Casa Azul" which is about the story of Frida Kahlo. The story is very sad, but the dancing, singing, and acting were very good. The night ended with Ravel's "Bolero" with the entire company wearing flamenco costumes and character shoes.
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend, praise God for His abundant grace!
