First of Many

This is the first of several "Bon Voyage" parties that I had with my wonderful friends. This is the gang from Jordan High.


Shannon is the mature one in the middle!









Carolyn and I were roomies for about a year and we worked at Jordan together for a few years. She said she would be my guide for my first trip to Washington D.C. - I'm holding you to that, Carolyn!




This is Leah. I love Leah!



Cuttie patootie Olivia and Auntie Shannie.

I also promised that I would post the corn and bean salsa recipe. I can't take credit though - my good friend Kris Olsen deserves the credit! I do add cilantro because I LOVE IT! It's really delicious - give it a try.

Corn & Bean Salsa

  • 2 cans mexi corn, drained
  • 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes with onions
  • cilantro

Dressing (wisk together):

  • 1/2 cup veg. oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/8 t hot sauce

Mix gently the first 4 ingredients and then add the dressing. Let marinate for at least 3 hours and then add 2 diced avocados. If you add them too early, they will turn brown. Also, after everyone has munched and stolen all the avocados, dice up and add one more! Serve with tortilla chips.

Diane, Shannon just made me join facebook, you should be our friend (Every time I log in to facebook it says, "You have 2 friends," and I swear I thought I had more than that... at least that's what my mom tells me.) Have a safe trip back east. We leave for Pennsyl-tucky in a few days. Sometimes I wish we could stay out there.

The salsa looks good. I will have to give it a try. The party looks fun also. I am so glad that you have such good friends - and so many of them!

For the love Diane!!! I don't think I could do much worse in a photo than the last one. Delete! Delete! Or ignore my vanity. And yes, you should join facebook. It's fun.
