gonna do a little Sunday funday w a small number of family and friends, w monday off an whatnot. there may even be an after party w some nightcap margs. after party meaning after Lily bedtime.

Gonna do Mexican - trying my hand at marinading 6 lbs of thighs in the AM for grilling in the early evening, pollo asado style. gonna start with achiote/annato paste so not truly from scratch (like the NYT recipe is). And then a big batch of Mexican rice - with El Pato sauce and seasoned broth after an initial browning of raw rice in oil and garlic. Gonna rely on guests for sides and such
