Mexican New Year

It should have been Mexican New Year over the weekend (instead of Chinese New Year, that is) – as we somehow found ourselves enjoying it twice. That’s two times a winner in my eyes!

First up, we joined Joe, Shamine and Baby Harry for Saturday lunch at Pepe’s Newmarket. They lean more towards the restaurant side of Mexcian dining compared to the fast-foody style of our regular Mexican haunt – Guzman y Gomez at Emporium. We’d be warned that their meals verged on being unfinishably large, and we consequently attended with our best appetites in tow. Burritos were the order of the day, and I can’t say we were disappointed – though I had no trouble polishing off my plate so I don’t know what the fuss was about!

Serving number two was of the home made variety, when we had Mel and Ben over for a very overdue birthday dinner for Ben. When I say “very overdue”, I mean it was very overdue – Ben’s birthday is in the middle of the year. In fact, we promised to make him fajitas so long ago that he’d completely forgotten that we’d promised to make him fajitas. But we are nothing if not true to our word, and so fajitas it was!

Even Oscar got in on the action, sampling, and somewhat enjoying – well, as much as Oscar enjoys any food, that is – his very first fajita!
