Wow! What a crazy 48 hours it’s been!
Our 2nd annual Pre-Thanksgiving dinner went wonderfully. We stuck with last year’s Italian theme, starting off with fried ravioli and a tossed salad. The main course consisted of crab & shrimp ravioli with a gorgonzola cream sauce and fettuccine with a chunky, oniony marinara. Of course we had some crusty bread, various wine, and followed it all up with amazing cheesecake (thanks MOM!) and a beautiful tiramisu. (Great job Lissa!)
It never ceases to amaze me how much fun our little dinner parties are and how well the extended “family” gets along. This time around, we had the pleasure of entertaining Lissa’s parents, my mother, Ben’s parents and brothers, Jason, James, and my favorite 4-year old, CHLOE! (13 peeps, if you’re counting.) It was quite the houseful, and boy, did it sound like it! It sounded like everyone had a marvelous time.
Whew! I was going to post a bit about the great day we had today, but I think I am worn out. Check back later; I’ll try to gather my strength, or make Ben do it. :)
