Friends

Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I am not a very good cook. In fact, my brother stopped by a few weeks ago and about fell out of his chair when I told him that I was making cornbread (as a side dish) for dinner. I told my parents and they weren't really surprised. I believe my dad may have said something like, "well, we've never really known you to be much of a Betty Crocker." Thanks, Dad. So, I went outside of my comfort zone on Thursday and invited some friends over for prime rib. Thanks to Camille, we got a super great deal on some prime rib a few weeks ago. Cory cooked some Alaskan king crab (see post from Jan. 14th) too. The dinner was edible and we got to enjoy visiting with the Gibbs' family and the Evans' family. We even broke into the chocolate stash from Germany for dessert. I brought back about 5 kilos of chocolate from Germany and we have been savoring every morsel. :-) We are grateful for good friends and fun times!
