I decided to cook up a batch of my friend Kim's Chicken Enchiladas Fabulosas. For the record, Kim is far too humble to call her enchiladas "fabulosas." I added the adjective because I feel they are beyond just plain old enchiladas. You can check out my link for the (easy!) recipe.
We served some Spanish-style rice, and surprisingly several people actually wanted to try the refried beans, so we served some of those as well.But the real star of the night was the cake that SuSu and Jamie picked out. Here's Mimi and her cake:
Isn't she lovely? Which one? Both, silly.
Jamie and SuSu were out of town all weekend, so there wasn't any time to come up with something from scratch. SuSu asked if I'd tell you guys that she made this, but I didn't feel like that would be fair to my readers. But she did pick it out, and that's saying something.
Check it out! There was so much chocolate here that I felt kind of twitchy after my serving.
Some party guests wasted no time and dug right into their cake and ice cream.
Others lurked about, hoping to receive a few spare crumbs. (I already gave him a bite of cheese, so I didn't want to get in trouble by offering him cake too)
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

Some of us were a bit messier with our cake than others.
Michaela Byrd tried to climb across the table to swipe a few crumbs....
Sometimes cake is worth it!
Happy Birthday, Mimi!

ReplyDeleteI was going to ask, as erinbeth already did, if that's the Costco all-American triple chocolate cake (or whatever they call it). We've had that cake ... yum. We look at it every time we go to Costco.
