Toño surprised them with Tacos Dorados with Salsa Borracha and a delicious Mole (see last picture). The salsa for mole is made of chocolate and then different hot chilli peppers.
We concluded the weekend with something completely different - i.e. a Russian soirée on the theme Troika with a piano player, a baritone and a reader.

yumm,Mole Poblano one of my fave Mexcian Sauces, it looks definitely delish and I am sure it tasted also exceptionally good!
What was read to you on the Russian soirée?
Sylv, Pushkin, Nekrasov and of course out of Gogol's Dead Souls: Oh troika, winged troika, tell me who invented you? Surely, nowhere but among a nimble nation could you have been born in a country which has taken itself in earnest and has evenly spread far and wide over half of the globe, so that once you start counting the milestones you may count on till a speckled haze dances before your eyes... Rus, are you not similar in your headlong motion to one of those nimble troikas that none can overtake? The flying road turns into smoke under you, bridges thunder and pass, all fall back and is left behind!... And what does this awesome motion mean? What is the passing strange steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes?... Rus, whither are you speeding to? Answer me. No answer. The middle bell trills out in a dream its liquid soliloquy; the roaring air is torn to pieces and becomes wind; all things on earth fly by and other nations and states gaze askance as they step aside and give her the right of way.
Wo!!!
I had to read it about three times before I 'understood' it! Not very familiar anymore with the Russian literature...
Every Russian child has to know this sequence by Gogol by heart and heas to be able to recite it with sufficient pathos.
wow - impressive gomad...
Ah so if I were in Switzerland, maybe I'd fit into that swimming family. ;-) Yes I do enjoy swimming socials too.. But I must say everyone dresses so well!
