Asuncion's First Wine Tasting Fiesta Feast
Well, we're getting pretty uptown now!!! Miss Zoe hosted the first wine testing party in her home complete with fancy invitations, fantastic food, way
too much wine and wonderful conversation.
Most of the expats who are here in Asuncion attended and it was really great to get together for some quality time...as we all come from diverse
backgrounds, the converstation was delightful and we all laughed so hard for hours, our stomachs hurt!!! i learned lots about wine and a host of other
other things in the course of the evening.
Sirenita & Adrian provided the pizza, a carnivore delight and super veggie with artichokes, capers, mushroom and veggies...outstanding! Adrian
also made his famous seared yellowtail and I brought scallop sushi.
Of course most of us are loyal Nomads so we had fun discussing various threads...Kevin has some particularly hilarious party game ideas for Skeets
Party (perhaps I wont get into those right now).
We were all so happy to have gotten together for this fine wine event and it was suggested by Chris the plant guy to have Wine Wednesdays which was
unanimously agreed upon to be held at different houses each week...woohoo, more parties!!! Look forward to seeing more of you here soon. (PS: bring
wine!)
Oh and if any of you were wondering where Kevin is...he took the group picture and struck his classic end of party pose for this.

My favorite Pizza
Artichoke Hearts, Tomato and Fresh bazil on thin crust with lots of parm!!
Be still my heart! ......and arteries!
Good on them! That is a wonderful idea, a Pizza Parlor in Asuncion. I love it.
How about a sushi bar?

WOW!
Those pizzas look mighty tasty.
Best of luck to the new Tide Pool Eatery! We are really looking forward to sampling everything.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Shari, Juan, Sirena and Adrian....I am feeling sad that I could not manage another spring trip back...but perhaps my next will be better.
The Tide Pool restaurant is a great idea. I WILL mak it down either this Fall or next Spring. I would LOVE to get (paid) lessons on preparing local
fish, abalone, conches and anything else I might catch (from shore or with Juan).
It's hard to stay sharp cooking for one, but I love cooking and learning new seafood recipes. Can Adrian consider that as an add on to the
restaurant? I would enjoy it.

OOPSIE I posted by miss-keying before finishing my whole message. I hate cramped laptop keyboards.
I can imagine a perfect day, fishing with Juan, or from the shore... finish with a cooking class with Adrian as the catch is prepared for us and any
friends...
I'll bring the wine.
My idea of a perfect day in Asuncion.
Best wishes to all...I must say Sirena is looking ready to pop...Congratulations All!

Nice to hear from you Skip...and that is a capital idea about Adrian giving cooking classes....he's taught me a thing or three. He does prepare
gourmet fish dinners at your casa and you can just watch and learn that way or get in the Tide Pool kitchen with him as a helper!!!
Sirenita still has a couple months to go but is in fine form.
Grand Opening is planned for the 1st weekend in August on the 6th to cooincide with our Surf Competition on Aug.7th which will be a blast. We hope to
see some gringo faces in the line up this year...there havent been any yet and its the 3rd annual surf fiesta...so hey eetdrt...get yer surf butt down
here for it and the opening!!!! There is also a dance after the surf competition with a live band which is actually the quinceanera of Jaime's
daughter...they are one of the big surf families here....it's gonna be an awesome weekend.
