Brunch and such

So I took a little break from blogging since we had a holiday last week. Today I've posted 2 delicious entries!

Today, I had a brunch thingy at Jenne's along with my buddy Howie. Jenne made some yummy boiled then sauteed potatoes with onions/scallions(?), garlic and other yummy things. I brought chicken apple sausages and Jenne cooked them while I poked holes so they wouldn't explode everywhere. Howie brought Heath bar scones....epic: ) Howie made these scones, and let me tell you...so GOOoooooood. We sat around and ate and talked while Nino Bravo played in the background(Think Spain's answer to Tom Jones). Such a beautiful way to start the day. After eating we saw a movie. 'MOON' was entertaining. It starred Sam Rockwell, one of my favorite actors. He was great in the film. Howie decided to get a GI-normous popcorn which we only ate half and brought the rest home for my mom and sister. That was my day...now off to have more fun! ::::ZOOOOOOOOOOM:::::

Peruvian Ceviche

There's nothing I love more than lemons. I love to drink them in the form of lemonade. I love them in food. I love the way it smells. I love their color. I heart lemons...and anything that is citrus really. One of my favorite dishes that has lemons in it is CEVICHE! Lemons and summer go hand and hand. Ceviche and summer go hand in mouth.

Now it has been argued by many as to whom invented ceviche. Everyone knows the Peruvians invented ceviche...so all those who claim they invented it...ha ha dream on! Ceviche is basically fish cooked in lemon juice....or marinated. It's delicious and probably one of my favorite dishes I remember my father making, and making it very well. My mom has learned how to make it and she does it pretty well.

This time around she used Tilapia, cut in small cubed pieces, culantro, garlic, salt, pepper, 5 lemons, aji amarillo(a yellow pepper that is a tiny bit hot and gives magnificant color to food) and onions. She puts the cubed pieces in the mixture and leaves it marinating for a couple of hours. Typically Peruvians eat it with white rice. My mom cooked a seasoned rice with the ceviche. Delicious....SO FREAKIN' GOOD!
