Wednesparty

After a peachy conference call…

IMG_3571Blog

We closed up shop and headed OUT! It was pouring rain, so I left my bike and Matt picked me up in the car. Our destination: A “welcome to Charlottesville” party for Faith’s sister, Cedar!

CedarBlog

We enjoyed a few mid-week drinks

IMG_3637Blog

And munchin’ appetizers, including bread from GH!

Apps-3Blog

Faith made…some Peruvian drink that I am sorry to say I don’t remember the name of. I SWEAR it was Tequila, but she says no. And that’s all the details I have!

IMG_3625Blog

We socialized

IMG_3627Blog-2

And them my camera was hijacked!

IMG_3616Blog

These cute kiddos took it for a joy ride (with Matt’s supervision) They came out with some pretty awesome photos!

[nggallery id=11]

I sipped on Basil Beer while I waited for the camera’s return 😉

IMG_3574Blog

Soon enough we had fish tacos! Of course the Queen of Condiments did an excellent job filling the buffet with veggies and flavors

IMG_3618Blog-3IMG_3624Blog-2IMG_3619Blog

First Desert was a few of these:

IMG_3622Blog

Second dessert involved Wineberry Tarts, Eileen’s Raspberry Peach Crumble and GH goodies! I had one of each. It was one of those kinda nights.

Desserts-2Blog

And some Trader Joe’s chocolate covered salted almonds that won my heart

If only every Wednesday could be this exciting!!

    Great pics by the kiddos… my faves are the one of Matt, and the half-eaten tomato w/the little girl. Both of them are great. So cute.

    Faith’s get-togethers always look amazing. 🙂

        That’s what I’m thinking, they’ve got to be pisco sours. The danger is in pisco’s mixability, both in the amount of alcohol that can be concealed in one drink and the array of things you can mix it with- gotta love pisco!

        Definitely pisco! You could also make “Chilcanos” by mixing 1 part Pisco, 2 parts ginger ale (or tonic water) and lemon!

    hi kath,
    for sure those are pisco sours, a *VERY* potent combination of the liquor pisco and egg whites. it’s the national drink of Chile though (not Peru) — although it’s common across the region.

    Reply
    • rkbrbg says

      July 14, 2011 at 6:25 am

      WTF; it’s totally Peruvian, search Google yo!

    • Sara R. says

      July 14, 2011 at 8:50 am

      Apparently both countries lay claim to the pisco sour, but my vote is with Peru since the brandy gets its name from Pisco, Peru where it is made! Either way, every restaurant in Peru serves them and they are delicious!

      Reply
      • faith says

        July 14, 2011 at 9:52 am

        It’s an age old disagreement between the two countries in regards to who gets to claim the origins of Pisco. I first tried it in Chile in 2000 but then I lived in Peru for a year so I think my loyalty lies with the north. 🙂 It’s really a silly argument between neighbors, their piscos taste the same and it is totally the national drink of both countries.

      They are usually made with a tiny (1/4 tsp?) bit of egg whites to add a creaminess and frothly top. I skipped the egg last night out of laziness. I was a little skeeved about the egg when I first started drinking them in Peru but I got over it fast, it’s a tiny amount and not that different than eating an over easy egg.
