Cowboy's Quesadilla Party

GO COWBOYS! This past Sunday night our small group from church got together for a make-your-own quesadilla party & watched the Cowboys game.

Here are some pics from the event. I learned from this party, being married to the "condiment man" what makes a good quesadilla. For those of you who don't know what I mean by calling Kyle the "condiment man"...short story. The Rhodes family loves their condiments on food. If you look in the fridge at our house or Kyle's parent's house, the entire inside door & top few shelves are full of....you guessed it....condiments! I've never known so many in all my life existed! Kyle's parents even have a fridge in their garage for overflow condiments. If you don't believe me, I will have to take a pic at some point so you can see what I'm talking about. Seriously, Kyle can't make it through a meal anywhere without the right condiments.

When I was growing up with my family, if we were out to eat somewhere or on vacation eating something in the car, I would want ketchup for my fries, but my mom would say "rough it and eat it." So that's just what I learned to do.
Well, with Kyle, this plan doesn't work at all. He MUST have the right dips/sauces/etc for his food or he won't eat it. In his defense, he would say that this makes eating the food more enjoyable.

So when I was getting the list together for this quesadilla party, I made fun of Kyle several times for all of the various condiments he wanted me to purchase in order to experience the "perfect quesadilla." Y'all have to realize I was planning for maybe 20 people at the most with a budget of $5 per person, so some of Kyle's requests I could not honor.


What was the verdict overall? In Kyle's own words "this is the best quesadilla I've ever had." I'm hoping that this is really true and not to just make me feel good. But I do think it at least was half true.

So the quesadillas ended up being a hit. We'll probably do this type of party again in the future. An added bonus is that the Cowboys won! We may just need to have a superbowl party this year, especially if they are in it!

I don't think Brett got this gene. He eats lots of stuff without any condiments at all!! However, I agree with Kyle, it does make the eating experience more enjoyable!
