Tom and Doris Enos, planned and prepared a barbecue dinner for us all.

Tri-Tip Roasts being seasoned & prepared to be aged
Tom Enos Bar-B-Qing roasts with mustard & rock salt
The final night was the Mazzarella's turn.  Mazz and Irene planned and prepared a Mexican meal to compare with any Mexican meal you will ever eat.  We watch the preparation of the
Steak and pork with utter fascination.  We are so fortunate to have our great chefs. 
We are grateful for their generous nature and great talent.
This was not a Pot Luck Dinner.  This was the Mazzarella's cooked from scratch Mexican Gourmet Food Dinner for which they worked in the kitchen all day to prepare for us. 
It was fantastic.
