This is Judy (R) and Roxi (L)
They are a couple of sisters who packed up everything and moved to Atenas from the Portland area about 6 months ago. They call themselves the "Sisters in Transition" and have a blog you can see at:
We affectionately call them "The Girls". We met Judy and Roxi when they rented one of our apartments while they were waiting for their long-term rental to become available. During that time, we also became friends. I can tell you that these girls are full of energy and are the kind of friends you hope to keep forever. Both are now on the Chili Cook-off Committee and have already contributed much. - Please keep up with their adventures on their blog.
Well, they decided to have some of us over for a Christmas Eve Dinner and it was great. Judy made her now famous Chili & Torts and you cannot believe how tasty that is. However, she refuses to give out the recipe as it is a secret based on long-standing tradition. And, she won't even let me take pictures of it :-(
The attendees totaled 12, which was a very good sized group for the occasion. Not too small and not too big. They are:
Don and Judy
Ken and Deb
Rosemary and Tony
Donna and Bob
Stef and Yours Truly
The home they rented sits on the side of a mountain above Atenas - Check out some of the views
Here you can see all the way past San Jose and into the far mountains along the Caribbean Coast
Stef, Bob & Donna looking a little farther to the south
Now, although Judy wouldn't let me take any pictures of the Chili & Torts, they made a batch of chips & dips - Man were they good, and I had a hard time stopping from munching - check this out
This is about the best salsa I have ever had - mmmmmmmmmm
We had a great dinner and then did a White Elephant gift exchange - Everything was great!!!
Thanks for Inviting Us Girls!!!!
