Our annual Dia de los Muertos supper was a hit! In true spirit of the celebration, we honored loved ones who are no longer with us, and we celebrated their life! In the a la "yo soy way" of celebrating life, we ate (a little too much) and drank (a little too much) the night away, with a nice top off musical performance by manny capozzi! It was fantastic! The menu title was "the celebration of life" and all things that make for awesome moments in a lifetime, with two dedicated courses to our grandparents (Brian's Grandpa Ken and Mikey's Grammy). Admittedly, the celebration was early since Dia de los Muertos falls on November 2nd, but we just couldn't wait! In proper ritual of Dia de los Muertos, we had an ofrenda for the Yo Soy grandparents, and we invited guests bring an item to place on the altar for the evening to share the celebration of one of their loved ones that had passed as well.(Thanks wikipedia: An ofrenda (Spanish: "offering") is a collection of objects placed on a ritual altar during the annual and traditionally Mexican Dia de los Muertos celebration). That part was a truly magical part of the evening, it reminded us to live life and truly enjoy every single drop of it!
FELIZ DIA DE LOS MUERTOS!
Stay tuned for the November date, we will release the date by end of October!
