I forgot to take a pic of the assembled chicken tortilla..I made strips from cutlets, dredged in a flour/breadcrumb/spice mixture in fried in a bit of oil...Shredded lettuce, cheese, taco sauce, add whatever you like...

The little maracas napkin rings are from Pottery Barn as are the red plates, chili pepper and place mats. The stainless steel Margarita glasses from Homegoods, the maracas in the centerpiece from the dollar store...

And for Flashback Friday at Suzy's Kitchen Bouquet ...

A beautiful Rhody..I look at it from my porch..never gets fed or pruned or anything!!
My next door neighbor's...I await its bloom every year. They only come in the summer, so they miss all its glory!

    What a gorgeous rhody!

  13. Those little maracas are sooooo darling! What a lovely & festive touch! I'm so jealous of those Rhodies! I can't for the life of me grow them here - maybe it's just too hot? Anyway, they are gorgeous and I'd look forward to seeing them each spring too!

  16. Kathleen, if this blog weren't PG rated, I'd shake my maracas for all to see.

    As always, I enjoy your table settings, and the food gets an Olé from me too.
