my first dinner party

i must say, all went well. i served an all-vegetarian mexican dinner. on the menu:

appetizers - salsa verde, salsa caliente, guacamole and chile rellenos.

main course - avacado enchiladas, zucchini and portabella tacos and rice and beans

dessert - vanilla coffee and a sample tray of desserts from tiffany's bakery
all that was left after the party was over. we used my great-grandmother's china. but that was mostly because we only have placesettings for four from our wedding dishes.

salsa caliente. los tried it, then nobody ate it. he now thinks i was trying to kill him. hmmm... death by salsa? i'm changing the name.

death by salsa:

6 large tomatoes, seeded, cut into chunks

1/2 large onion,in large chunks

1 cup red pepper, seeded and diced

juice from one lime

1 cup cilantro leaves

2 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 fresh, seeded habanero chile

toss everything into the food processor. process until well combined (not necessarily smooth). enjoy!
