Ecuadorean Night

So, our neighbor Alex got his mission call to Ecuador and we wanted to help him get excited. So Landon and I invited our whole circle over to our yard for a Taste Trying night of Ecuadorean food.

I looked up recipes and made invitations. Alex's Mom Tammie said she would help cook food so she did half of it. We were both so surprised by how well everything turned out.

Tammie made: Carne Asada, yellow rice, lentils, pineapple drink and a strawberry drink. She also brought corn tortillas. 

I did the chili lime shrimp, car mailed plantains, I can't remember the name of the other dish but it was pretty much ham and potatoes, and coconut fish, salsa and chips, ceviche and tropical pineapple crab salad. 

I also made a fruit cocktail drink. 

It was so much fun. We decided to invite the whole neighborhood for it to be a missionary opportunity. We thought it would be an easy way to talk about the gospel to our neighbors.

We had almost 20 people come over through out the course of it. It was a great experience!  It was fun to try foreign recipes and to visit with our neighbors!
