An Afternoon in the Sun — On Friendships, Fish Tacos, and the Things We Share
This recipe is about challenging a crowd to make that perfect fish taco … and then watching them come back in 10 minutes to try to make another that’s even better. Eating is an act of communion, after all, and the luckiest of us get to do it together. In between telling stories about our collective pasts and presents—digs at my former tweedy fashion choices; shit-talk about friends’ former boyfriends; reminders that us“old people” can still have fun, even while knowing our younger guests will need less recovery time from those margaritas—we’re digging into homemade salsa with the crumbs of tortilla chips and seconds of carefully constructed fish tacos.
