Friends

Emily and I had the fortunate pleasure to have been invited over to friends houses two nights in a row this past week for them to cook dinner for us.  It was a very nice treat, and was a wonderful time spent with friends.

The first night the Bassets of Adam, Danielle, and baby Mackenzie had us over for “Mexican Lasagna”.  This also happened to be the night of the big storm here in Norman, but I don’t want to talk about that here.  Anywho, the dinner was a neat twist on Lasagna and instead of pasta Danielle used tortillas and then various other ingredients that helped it make it more “Mexican” than “Italian”.  After dinner we rounded up some cards and played a competitive game of Spades!  Now spades is one of my favorite card games and brought back many a memory of basketball band trips with Team Trinity vs Team. . . (what ever Chris & Josh’s team name was, it doesn’t really matter because they never beat us 😉 ).  This round it was boys vs girls and Adam and I prevailed in the end, it was close though.

Night 2 of dinner was with Brian & Jennifer, Brian is a Senior-to-be at OU and has worked with my marching band for the past year and Jennifer is his girlfriend, also a student at OU.  Emily and I saunter over with a bottle of wine and enjoyed an evening of Lemon Broccoli Chicken, cous-cous, and a fine desert of Banana’s Foster.  I remembered to take pictures this time!

Sorry for the wierd coloring, but Lemon Broccoli Chicken!

Eating, Japanese style 😉

Mmm, desert!Our wonderful hosts!

 

No music today, just some food adventures.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday, and remember to celebrate your Father today!  I know I love mine.
