We woke up rather late. I think I was still exhausted a bit.
It was a full busy week with little sleep partially because of the early rising
and partly because of the extreme heat making it hard for me to sleep at
night. In any event it took us a while
to get going in the morning. When we did
we got cleaned up and headed to the market in Miraflores where we bought some
rib-eye steaks and some chicken. Then we got on the Metropolitano and road to 2
de Mayo stop and then found a combi to take us to very near Daniela’s house. We
were the first to arrive from the family and we got in to getting the grill
going (good old fashioned charcoal).
I was to be the grill master for the day. Daniela wanted to
grill the potatoes we had so I started those first they took a very long time
to cook and we even had to cut them in half and finish them off later but I was
not surprised to this. After her brother
got more charcoal and Edwin came and gave us some of his fire making expertise
we were able to then cook the steaks and the chicken and two kinds of sausage
and I even was able to grill some onions because they have a flat surface side
as well. I think all the cooking
probably took about 3 hour total. Edwin
made pisco sours. Daniela and her mom
prepared salads and eventually we had a grill feast. The food was good I think. Aside from the potatoes needing more time
things went well. They had limited seasonings so I really just did salt on them
and they used the various sauces to add flavor.
After everyone was mostly done eating they broke out the wine and beer.
Wine for the women and beer for the men. We talked and listened to music and
danced for most of the night and I think a couple people got really tipsy.
Daniela’s mom had made a cake and frosted it and her sister
made some decorations for it and the presented me a birthday cake with an
Avengers theme as we got close to the end of the night. It was very cute and
the cake was very tasty. I was impressed
with the decorations and now I have several ceramic Avengers for my desk in the
office. When the cake was done everyone
went their separate ways and Daniela washed all the dishes we had made dirty
then we got a cab to the apartment and called it a night.
