Well! It was a hell of a Cinco de Mayo wedding weekend! The bride was gorgeous, the Groom handsome, the bridal party amazing. Thanks to the tireless efforts of a few key people (you know who you are!) we managed to pull this thing off. The fact that nobody was murdered was a feat in itself! Much restraint was shown by a few members of the wedding party, just when I was sure things were going to come to blows!
The last few days have wreaked havoc on my healthy living efforts... so I cheated a little.. starting with the Krystal Burgers trip and the 42 glasses of wine I had... on Friday night. Saturday, I was in the kitchen all day preparing the carnitas and salsas for the salsa bar. Of course I had to taste everything. Most of the salsas were healthy, except for the smoky jalapeno salsa which contains sour cream. The highlight of the salsa bar though, was the NACHO CHEESE FOUNTAIN! Disgusting, but who could resist anyway! The bride's friends from work also provided some yummy taste treats. And then there was the wedding cake!

I tried to get back into my routine on Monday...so I ate oatmeal for breakfast and went on a 3 mile walk which included the post office, where I was mailing back some of the bride's kitchen utensils that ended up in my bag. On the way back, got caught in the rain and had to find shelter under a carport at some condominiums about a mile away. There was a break in the clouds after about 30 minutes and I made a run for it. Time for lunch! I chopped up some of the leftover carnitas and tossed it into the black bean and roasted corn salsa and added some beef broth, topped with a little dollop of guacamole and I was good to go. Dinner was grilled chicken and salad. After the weekend I thought I should dry out for a while, which wasn't too hard because I'm out of wine! Anyway...Here's to the Bride and Groom! It was a fun weekend with my Goddess girlfriends!
