Dinner at the Home of Judy and Roxi

December 24, 2012

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

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!!!!
