A few weeks ago, Heather reminded me that her birthday was
coming up. I told her we could have the whole family to dinner, and asked her
what she’d like. I figured I was pretty safe. She’d either pick cheeseburgers (which
her dad could grill), or cheese pizza (which could be done take-and-bake). She
chose Café Rio’s nachos. I looked into catering, but it was very pricey.
Treating all sixteen of us at the restaurant would be even worse. So, I decided
to do it all at home: I found copycat recipes online for sweet pork barbacoa, cilantro-lime
rice, and Café Rio salad dressing. Just so I wouldn’t be cooking all day, I opted
for store-bought beans, pico, guac, vanilla ice cream, and a cherry/chocolate
tuxedo cake. If any of the recipes I found turn out well, I’ll probably post
them here sometime next week. If they don’t turn out well, we’ll probably be
eating them all next week.
