Latin America Culture Night.

Tonight Needles and I went to Latin America Culture Night. It was very interesting as several people and families from Central and South America talked about where they came from and the similarities and differences of our cultures. We then were released to go to the buffet which consisted of Latin American Cuisine. The menu consisted of Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken Breast simmered with rice, peas, bacon and cilantro), Cuban Black Beans, Caribbean Spiced Sweet Potatoes, Curtido Rojo Salad (Julienne Beets with Cabbage, Peppers, Tomato, Onion and Green Beans), Jicama Slaw, Mango Salsa, Tomato & Poblano Chilli Salsa with Red and Blue Corn Chips Grilled Flat Bread and for dessert : Chef Liz Latin Surprise which was a wedge of devils food chocolate cake with a Carmel drizzle and broken up heath bar over the top. It was all very good especially the sweet potatoes. I love my yams. After the meal we were entertained by FlamencOle. Flamenco dancers from, yep you guessed it...Indianapolis, Indiana.

It was a lot of fun with crowd participation. Thanks Needles for asking me to go. I enjoyed it very much.
