My sisters planned a little cinco de mayo party for all of us to attend. I volunteered for dessert, but looked around my house and couldn't find anything really mexican-y. And I'm not a huge fan of flan. So instead I decided to make a dessert I've been craving (apple turnovers) and call it mexican (manzana tartas). Olay! When I say "craving apple turnovers" I really mean those hostess turnovers at the store. Yum! But we had a lot of apples and I figured they couldn't be THAT hard to make. So I looked up a bunch of recipes online. I ended up making my two-pie crust recipe from my Betty Crocker cookbook and then combining about three of the online recipes for the filling and and outer crust and everything else. It kind of took a lot of my day, but it was fun to make.
The girls put on some colorful fiesta clothes.
We headed over at dinnertime and they had the house decorated so festive. The food was delicious and we had so much fun!
My "Manzana Tartas" which were muy deliciouso if I do say so mi self.
After dinner we played this awesome game I have called "Maxican Bingo." Yep, it's really spelled wrong. And it's totally politically incorrect with squares like "El Nigrito" (the black man), "El Barracho" (the drunkard), etc. Ha ha, what a riot (el rioto).
Kelly won. She was pretty excited. ("La Loteria! La Loteria!")
