Bob and I attended my friend and colleague Crisanta’s wedding on 08-08-08. Crisanta and Mark were married in front of nearly 275 family and friends and celebrated with a festive shin dig at the Museum of Latin Art in Long Beach.
The guests were served tasty appetizers and cocktails and entertained by an all-women mariachi band in the museum’s courtyard. We were then ushered into the reception hall were tables were set with specific pieces of art replicas (our table had Salvador Dali artwork on display, much to Bob’s delight).
Love those chocolate-covered strawberries!
The food was delish, including the towering chocolate fondue fountain, and Crisanta and her family happily danced the evening away. It was a fun night and spectacular celebration for everyone.

For friends of mine who’ve asked me to teach them how to cook but are too geographically challenged to make it to my kitchen, I’m bringing my kitchen to you. :-)
I’ve added a new tab to my blog: Cooking with Chrissy. I’ll post some of my favorite (easy) recipes for you along with a video tutorial (OMG). No more excuses! Get in the kitchen and learn how to cook some smashing meals!
Just don’t make fun of the videos…Bobby and I are just getting started.
I’ve redesigned my blog, so for those of you who wish to see our Road Tales entries from our Italy trip, please visit the “Road Tales” tab. Our Road Tales movie can be viewed in the post below. Bon voyage!
Having been home just long enough to recover from jet lag and culture shock, Bobby and I compiled our vacation photos and video into a tidy, picturesque home movie. The Vimeo video feed can stutter sometimes, so take a seat, turn up the volume, relax and enjoy. I’d recommend you watch it on the smaller screen, as enlarging it tends to make things a bit fuzzy…
