OMG! they came they went, people had a great time, thank God! Ureshii!!!
Everyone ate a lot! LOL! (and lately I seem to be blogging about food a lot too).
I took pics of more snacks and such we offered, and I thought I could expand on some of them ^____^ for your reading pleasure.

Palm cookies and "alfajores". Palm cookies are made with pastry dough and sugar rolled to give them that special shape, delicious. Alfajores are a sort of "sandwich cookie" made with really soft dough filled with dulce de leche (sort of a "milk taffy paste") and rounded with shredded coconut (that's the white stuff at the sides).

A look at the empanadas ready to be re-heated in the oven... and the glasses at the back, before they were filled with alcohol. Mwahahahahaha!!!

With the left-over of the dough we made empanadas filled with cheese, hehehehe.

O_o... LOL! let's go through this clock-wise, from top:
A basket of pistachios.
Guacamole sandwich squares.
Emmental cheese and little pickles.
Assorted nuts and edible seeds.
Other types of cheese and Serrano Ham.
Tuna sandwich squares.
Plantain chips ( Aivana: You said they were your favorite???? OMG! ne, I honestly thought they only sold those around these parts of the world, they sell them in India too? are those made there or are they imported? I remember while living in the states... I thought I wouldn't be able to get venezuelan stuff, but yeah if one looks hard enough one will find the odd "ethnic" food store that carries jewels like that XD).
Palm hearts. (eh? did she say palm hearts?) Yes, those white cylindrical pieces are the heart of palms. They're edible (and incredibly tasty). Don't look at me like that... people in asia eat bamboo roots... it's the same, kinda. XD
Yuca chips. cassava, yuca, manioc, or tapioca, however you want to call it.

Clock-wise around the candles in the middle, from top:
A tomato-apple chutney. It was amazing! that reminded of shukudaikun!!!!!!!! (yay!!! I managed to mention arashi!!!! XD).
More nuts.
Cream cheese.
Green olives.
A red pepper dish mum makes (One big red pepper, one cup of white vinegar, one cup of sugar, you mix it all together and put it over the stove until it caramelizes.) OMG! another shukudaikun reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Arashi invades our lives where you least expect it ne? LOL!)
And two little containers with toothpicks.
