Radish Salsa? I never....

One evening we were talking about what for dinner tonight. Randall mentioned making salsa and we would need RADISHES??? I never heard of that I insisted but thought well, it would go together. Randall was sure that radishes were in most salsa recipes. So, to the computer he went to prove me wrong. Well he didn't find many but he did discover an AWESOME RECIPE. This delicious radish salsa goes on top of chicken or pork along with an avocado salsa underneath. So give it a try, I think you'll like it. We definitely did. YUM!

As you can see, I'm still figuring this blogging thing out so bare with me. I'll learn all the bells and whistles that go with the program sooner than later. From now on, we will "link" our delicious discoveries for you to try for yourself. For those of you learning too give it a try! Click on the blue link above and you'll discover the recipe in detail.

New Years Eve and Day

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a BIG HUGE?? fire work....

This is what is left...

New Years Eve with our friends playing Wii

New Years Day...Can you guess what we ate?

Yum!

We could have just bought some pork already prepared at Coto Supermercado!

New Years Eve was a literal blast of fun and fire works that lit up the city. We were with friends at their place for a wonderful authentic mexican fiesta! Like when we were cruising, we had to say good bye and hope our paths cross again.

New Years Day was a family affair of cooking. Did you guess a rabbit? Well we got to the market too late to find what we really wanted and ended up with a wonderful rabbit. Yum!

Cooking together! It's a family tradition for us.(Nov/Dec)

Christmas dinner...beef wellington

Well in addition to getting some things done like meeting other kids, dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments, buying a piano, buying 2 bikes, renewing passports, and the list goes on; we have managed to cook a lot. For those of you who know us well, that is what we love to do! A family that travels together, loves to cook together? Well we do! For Thanksgiving not knowing where to get turkey, we made a different kind of bird, cornish game hens. Did you know that Argentina is known for some of the best carne(beef)? Well, Randall was searching on line for something special to make for Christmas dinner. Beef Wellington was the answer. So above you can see some of our family creations over the last couple of months.

What shall we have for dinner tonight? (October)

Well we absolutely loved going to this very clean and well organized market downtown in Mendoza. Throughout the Caribbean and South America, you can really get a good look of what you are really eating when it comes to meat! In addition to fresh meats of all kinds, they had a great variety of fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, fruits, cheeses, homemade bread and of course wine.
