Dinner with Friends

Tonight we enjoyed the great company with two of our friends for dinner! We all gathered in the kitchen and cooked up some spaghetti with homemade sauce, sautéed chicken with spinach and made some guacamole for pre dinner munchies! It was delicious, and we taught each other a lot.


Alaina doesn't cook, we taught her all about avocados and how to make guacamole.


Lime helps the avocado from turning brown, as well as putting plastic wrap directly on the guacamole so the air doesn't turn it brown when it is stored after eating. If the avocado is too hard when you buy it, and you want to make the guacamole within a day or so, put it in a closed container, even a brown paper bag, the gases emitted help to soften the avocado, which makes mashing it a lot easier. Cayenne pepper makes it spicy, and garlic gives it a kick. Don't forget a pinch of salt!


Fabiola is a great cook, I learned the easy way to make homemade spaghetti sauce, so simple!


Needless to say, conversation was started and we all chowed down. A great way to spend time  with friends that does not involve technology or drinking. Don't worry, still planning on making the Fluffernutter cupcakes :)
