Hey everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is overcast but getting warmer here at the Jersey Shore. I'm sure the roads are already full of holiday weekend traffic. I took today off so I was able to sleep later than normal which was nice. I spent some time flipping through my Mexican cookbooks to see what I wanted to make later for my friends, made my shopping list for the grocery store, and now I'm enjoying a cup of coffee before I actually head out to the store. I decided not to go crazy later and am just doing homemade guacamole and pico de gallo with tortilla chips to have with drinks and then chicken tostadas with homemade refried beans for dinner. There's only going to be 3 of us. I did pick out a couple of other recipes to try over the course of the weekend: Beef barbacoa and fish tacos with creamy slaw. So we shall see how they all are. I'm using Pati Jinich's Mexican Today cookbook for everything except the refried beans recipe. That one comes from her first book, Pati's Mexican Table. Oh the sun just came out. It looks like it might be a nice day for the beach-goers after all!

It's pretty nice here with sun and clouds. No plans for the weekend except my goddaughter is having a house warming party. So I will be going to that on Sunday.

@NJChicaa I agree I like to do things on the spur of the moment.

It is better not to have too many plans on a weekend I think.

I'm sure the Jersey shore will be packed with party-goers this weekend. So far the weather is iffy today (sun comes out and then goes in) Enjoy your dinner with friends tonight and I'm sure they'll love everything you make

The traffic even this morning was obnoxious.

I am having a pretty good day so far. The last 2 days to be honest I have been able to get up with the kids and get them off to school and stay awake I am normally so tired I can barley hold my eyes open so I go back to sleep and then sleep until almost 12. So yesterday and today so far has been a good day.

Sounds like you will be having a fun time in the kitchen cooking for sure. Sounds like alot of food to me to be making but i hope you have a fun time with your friends. Wish i knew what i was doing for the holiday and i hope im not moving that day and can take it easy and lay around the house and enjoy the day off from work. I do have work i need to do at home and finish. Have a fun day.

I'm not making it all at once. Over the course of a few days. Tonight is just the dips and the tostadas
