Taco Night

We had some friends over the other night, so Cy and I prepared the makings of an easy but delicious fish tacos with some red cabbage slaw.  On the side, we made one of my favorite sides - Mango, jicama, and blackbean salad, as well as a cauliflower gratin.  All very easy to prepare!  I meant to take more pictures of the food and all, but I ended up enjoying my time with friends and getting a little lazy with the pictures ...I need to be better...




...but there is nothing better than a night of good company and good food!
