I had some Americans over for dinner Wednesday night - all people I know through work (as pictured above L to R: Casey, Emily, Mike & Tera and their daughter Madeline, and me). We allowed Phill to crash the party as well, despite being from Nottingham. At one point in the evening, Phill told Madeline a story, but rather than reading it, he made it up as he went based on the pictures. It ended up being really entertaining for the entire group. Kids or not, you should try this at all your future dinner parties - it could be the next big thing!
I served fillet mignon, potatoes, and green beans almondine, which is affectionately known among my family as menu #1. If you've ever been to my parent's house, that's probably what we had for dinner - our favorite!! Mike took charge of the grill and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Y'all may be proud to learn that I ate my steak cooked medium and even tried medium rare. Yes, it is better than medium well and well done steak.
As has consistently been the case with all entertaining at our house, the evening entailed much wine and dancing!! Long live the dancing queen!!
This evening we also celebrated the conclusion of my house hunting!!! I will be moving into the last place I saw, #12, with the super fun housemates. Woo hoo!!!
