Origami water balloons I made for Ryan's birthday party.
The party was a mexican theme.
Back to the photos...
We played some bags out in the courtyard and drank homemade margaritas made by yours truly.
Fresh squeezed limes, agave nectar, your favorite Tequila (mine is Don Julio because its sweeter than others) and a little water to taste. Salted rim and voila!
Ryan turned 27. Such a big boy. ha Unfortunately I didn't have time to make cupcakes so we had store bought cupcakes that were pretty but not very tasty. I did make my grandmother's 10 minute flan.
10 Minute Flan:
1 cup of sugar in a sauce pan, heat until sugar is melted into a brown sticky sauce. Pour into your desired microwave safe dish large enough for the flan. You will need to roll the melted sugar around to evenly coat the bottom and sides of the dish.
In a blender, mix 3 large eggs, 1 can condensed milk and one can of evaporated milk. Blend until frothy. Pour over the melted sugar in the dish. The melted sugar should be cooled by now. Now cover the dish (you can also use plastic wrap) and put in microwave for 10 minutes. Once done let it cool in the fridge.
Hope you enjoyed this post.

I made over a 100 of these. They were fun to make but took hours of time.
Here they are hanging on embroidery floss. So pretty.

Moustaches.
Moonbeam was in full Mexican spirit.
What's a mexican party without Pin the Tail on the Donkey?
Ryan was close but I ended up winning. :]
The food was delicious and healthy.
This Mexican slaw was incredible and worth the time spent making it.
And everyone really enjoyed my famous mango guacamole that's simple to make.
Mango Guacamole Recipe:
1 yellow onion (sweeter)
1 large tomato
1 bunch of cilantro
2-3 limes (depending on how tangy you want it)
2 avocados
1 large mango
1 jalapeno (optional)
Chop each indgredient. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Less mixing equals chunkier guacamole. I like to mush everything together until its blended well but with good sized pieces of avocado still visible.
Add salt, pepper and chili powder to taste.
