Sometimes when you wake up an hour before company is supposed to show up, and you try to shoot gastro-footage on not much sleep and very much alcohol, you forget to actually talk about the ingredients, the amounts, and the process. It makes for a decent semi-blog, but it’s nothing that’ll ever step foot in the Barefoot Contessa’s timeslot. Here are the recipes:

Apéritif: Rumchata

  1. Follow Tastemade’s recipe for Mexican horchata
  2. Add a lil dark rum, but don’t overpower this delicious ‘chata.

Amuse-bouche: Togarashi Cucumbers

  1. Peel a cucumber, then cut it in half lengthwise
  2. Spoon the seeds out.
  3. Slice each cucumber half into c-shaped slices
  4. Toss with a mixture of equal parts togarashi, brown sugar, and salt

First Course: Contramar Tostadas

  2. Char small corn tortillas over a fire, then move them to a serving plate
  3. Cook several eggs sunny-side up with salt and pepper
  4. Top the tortillas with black beans, then the chorizo-salsa, then one egg per tortilla
  5. Top each egg with crumbled cotija, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado
  6. Top avocado with finishing salt and garnish with lime

Third Course: Churro French Toast

  1. Make french toast the same way you usually do
