This month’s BlogCrush “meeting” was my third and they keep getting better and better – or maybe its because I know more people so I feel more comfortable.  We were hosted by El Matador Cantina in Fullerton who had cleared their lounge area and set up long tables for us.  This arrangement was perfect because it seated us all together and no one was left standing or sitting alone if they didn’t know anyone.  We were also able to go around the table and introduce ourselves and say a little about what we blog about which is a great icebreaker and puts new bloggers more at ease.

The libation I chose to imbibe was the luscious Mango Dulce (right).

The Chile Relleno was a study in contrasts:  the colorful crunchy crust of crushed red & yellow tortilla chips against the velvety cheese and piquant tomatillo avocado salsa was savored with enthusiasm (see
more photos of the evening taken by Kara Noel and Hot Hubby). Blog Crush is not limited to the ladies – but this particular evening was noticeably lacking a male contingent – maybe it was the Angel game – so guys, you missed out! But at least the Angels WON and go back to Yankee land to battle it out in Game 6.

Can’t forget the delectable desserts that ended the evening:  the moist pumpkin cake celebrated autumn so deliciously and a cookie and ice cream lover’s delight called Cookie Fundido.
