Menu

I've been contemplating the menu I've planned for August's dinner club. I think I have it pinned down, but I still have some minor choices to make and am looking for suggestions.

Here it goes:

Drinks: sangria, limeade (?), and water

Appetizers: ceviche and avocado salsa

Soup: gazpacho

Entree: tangy yucatecan grilled pork (from Rick B), rice with sweet plantains, and vegetable empanadas

Dessert: flan (perhaps coconut?)

Suggestions welcomed! Currently, I'm looking for a nice sangria recipe. Most of the ones I've looked at look really delicious, but I have a rather picky crowd. Also, I'm looking for a foolproof tortilla recipe...mine never seem to turn out right - always too doughy.

what about horchata for a drink? (if you use teh g00gle, david lebovitz has a recipe)

and dessert could also be paletas? i had one with coconut milk, curry powder and honey that was amazing or you could do mango or ??

Robyn's right - this all really does sound amazing.
