things are pretty sunny

Rachel's mom sent her half a wheel of manchego cheese so we decided to have a manchego and sangria party at my place on Sunday. It was supposed to be a small affair but there ended up being over 20 of us and we made about eight pitchers of sangria. And then someone brought a vodka watermelon and it was all over.

The initial spread.

It was still a pretty classy affair at this point.

Some remains. The camera was forgotten early on in the evening.

Also! We had two French couchsurfers, Thibault and Marine, staying with us for the past few nights. Last night they made me and Whitney, another friend who is crashing for awhile, a Lyonaise salad and an apple crumble. YUM.

Thibault and Marine =).

Thibault made this amazing salad.

And Marine made an apple crumble. The four of us polished off the entire tray.

In other news, yesterday the KOGI Korean Taco Truck from L.A. made a guest appearance at the Dessert Truck in mid-town, and Veronica hooked Duke and I up with some amazing Kimchi Quesadillas. And tomorrow the summer of couchsurfers continues with a girl from Hamburg who will be staying with us for a few days. This week I'm also hoping to meet up with a few American couchsurfers whom I haven't had space to host am excited to hang out with.

love, good company, and good eats-
