Going on a decade now (maybe longer??) Diego has maintained the First Snow Cookout tradition. Basically, the first day that we accumulate an inch or more of snow, Diego hosts a cookout. Generally, no invites are sent - people just know to show up. He serves an assortment of latin sausages (chorizo, morcilla, etc.) and latin-cut meats (fajia steak is the most popular). Attendees bring beer that is thrust into the snow (who needs a cooler). And we stand around, outside, and have a cookout. Diego serves the meat right off the grill (we give out tooth picks or forks). Sounds dreadfully cold, but it's usually the most fun party we throw each year.
Well this year, we missed it. Last night, we got about 2" of snow here - the first of the season. But with Diego in Mumbai, we had to postpone the cookout. Fear not, Washingtonians, assuming that we get another snow, and that Diego is in town, we will DEFINITELY have a cookout.
