This was a great salad...the peppery arugula, sweet grape tomato, cool cucumber with creamy avocado in a lemony dressing...Andrea I need the recipe for the dressing....I loved this salad!

I don't think we made enough.....for FIVE people

rolling and wrapping in string was quite an interesting chore...they came out beautifully and tasted equally as good.

Tonight's entree was a quite complicated Mexican dish, ham, spinach and carrots rolled with sirloin in a heavenly sauce...

Kari saw a toothpick on the table...

...and became traumatized, so she had to tell us the story....that's all I'm going to say...trust me, you had to be there!

...still the toothpick story...

Stacey fights to roll out the fondant (Rexx, you would have enjoyed this)...she uses all of her upper body strength and it is still extremely difficult then... Andrea decides to read the directions, we forget to do that quite often, of course, this was also after Cosmos and wine and...anyway, the directions say to knead it with your hands until it is pliable enough to roll out...hmmmm, maybe the next food network show...a comedy of course.

Looks sort of like playdough...

.....of course you don't often see a few bottles of wine, empty bottles of wine, next to it!

the finished product....

...the general consensus was that fondant only LOOKED good!

Just entering Vizcaya...I would have loved to been here before it was turned into a museum.

We weren't suppose to take any pictures inside...but when I got to the kitchen my finger just slipped on the shutter!
