New job, new languages, new skills, new friends and good times that come with them – that’s just what March was and still is for me. Seems like this year is off on a good start and it’s getting better with every day. My favourite part is hosting dinner parties and hanging out with my friends surrounded by delicious food and wine from the island of Hvar, known for having one of the best wines in Croatia. So this post is all about that, hosting dinner parties and enjoying life with the people you love.
Probably the best idea for a dinner party are fajitas. They are delicious, easy to make, most of the people who I know absolutely love them and they go so well with a pint of beer. My friends came over the other day, we started drinking beer, I made fajitas, we turned up the music and finally celebrated the fact that I got a new job. It was all great until the neighbours came over because of the noise and we had to go out. But it was fun while it lasted and the night was still young. ๐
Weekend is just a day away and I wish you all a fun and an amazing weekend with your favourite people and most importantly lots of delicious food!!ย
