It has been almost 10 months since I have had a job! It has been such a gift to have this time with my family. I feel truly blessed! My neighbor, Janira, is a part-time caterer. She is the one that taught Scott and I how to make Lomo Saltado and Estafado, introduced me to her butcher at Mercado Rosaplata, and walked halfway across town to help me find a larger skillet that was cheaper than the close stores. On Thursday, she had a big catering job for 50 people at the Renault Car Dealership. Her stepson is a chef and he was over helping her cook and they both worked the event together. Janira invited me earlier in the day to stop over. They were making chicken kabobs, chicken salad sandwiches and potatoes with either cilantro, peppers or plain. Then they piped on top a little chicken and mayo with a piece of parsley to top it off. I was able to help shape the potatoes and put the parsley on top. The potatoes are SO delicious! They are served at room temperature. It was great learning about Peruvians appetizers.
Janira invited me to go with them to the event that night! I had no idea what it would be like, but it took me back to my Pharma dinners, except it was Car Dealerships and I was a waitress. 🙂 I had a great time serving the dealers and practicing a little spanish!
