We Celebrate With Family!
We have been celebrating since I can remember but starting in 2001, I kept images of the events as they unfolder over the years. This year marks a quarter-century of maintaining the image history of the event. Join us!
This year's a little different: we're heading to the Elks, but we're not doing a get-together at our place because (a) we're still recovering from Hawaii (emotionally and physically), (b) the Zaitz are out of town, and (c) the Dudas are off in Europe living their best "postcard" life. So basically, our house is closed for business—please try again when our social energy returns.
So it is just:
- Mary & Paul (Us)
- Vicky & Jim
- Dianne & Eddie
- Yolie
- Iris & Will
We had music the entire time!
The joint was jumping!
...in more ways than one!!
Mary and I got there first and began celebrating immediately!
The Ceviche was right next to our table!!
Did You Know? - Ceviche is not originally Mexican; it is widely believed to have originated in Peru over 2,000 years ago. However, it is a staple dish throughout Latin America, and Mexico has developed its own distinct, popular style of ceviche characterized by the addition of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and cucumber. Peruvian ceviche is generally simpler, often just fish, lime, onion, and chili, served immediately. Mexican ceviche usually marinates longer and often features chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and Serrano or Jalapeño peppers.
