Miami Girls Weekend - Day Three (Part Two)

so, apparently it helps to bring a computer power cord with me when i travel. i forgot to bring it and my battery ran out. so, i'm a little behind with the posts.

let's go back to friday and our super yummy dinner. we started out with peach bellinis while we prepared the food.

N's friend, C, brought prosciutto wrapped asparagus for a tasty appetizer. let's just say, asparagus is not my favorite vegetable but these are so good!

we made another thai dish - halibut with chili-lime sauce, sauteed bok choy (same recipe as before), and rice. you could also use salmon for this dish.

followed by a wonderful homemade key lime pie made with love by L.

key lime pie is very dear to my stomach and heart. it is most likely my favorite dessert. it was even E's and my "wedding cake". yum!
