Chile Brownies

You'll never guess what I did last night.

Stumped?

OK, fine, I'll tell you. I went to a party!!!

And how did I get invited to a party (being the social non-monster that I am)? I helped a friend move yesterday. And as a result, they took me along to a party on Hawthorne. It turned out to be an early birthday party, thrown by the birthday girl, herself. It also turned out that I have the same birthday (May 5). Neato. So in the spirit of cinco de mayo, there was a bit of a mexican theme to the food and drink. Margaritas, of course (and margarita jello shots, too), Sol, Corona, taco lasagna, quesadillas, and chile brownies.

Have you ever had a margarita jello shot? Basically, it was lime jello with some tequila and margarita mix (not sure whether there was actually margarita mix or not). Tequila and jello shots are an odd combination. I didn't know when I did my first one, and I could definitely tell that they had tequila, and lots of it! Also, as an aside, in the link that I put up for margarita jello shots, someone claims that there's margarita jello mix. I couldn't verify this, but who knows.

Towards the end of the night, the much-hyped chile brownies were broken out. The baker says she used real chiles instead of chile powder. Yum. Everyone said they were really hot, but I didn't think they packed too much punch. Overall, a very tasty treat.

We also played a fun game, but I can't remember the name. I'm working on figuring that out as we speak. You should play it. While drinking. Heavily. And pretend every clue has to do with porn when the other team is guessing and shout it out regularly. Yes.

Update: The game is called Catch Phrase
