Fatties

After Damion was kind enough to help me fix my car, I promised to cook him dinner. Last night I made good on that promise. Somehow, though, cooking dinner for one person turned into cooking dinner for nine people, plus myself. I guess by the time we added in roommates and boyfriends and the neighborhood homeless, that’s not too surprising. Plus, cooking dinner for friends is one of my favorite things to do so I encouraged it.

Here’s what was on the menu:

Dolan provided some tasty shrimp for appetizers and Nate cooked up a yummy spinach-artichoke dip. For dinner we had salad (thanks to Dolan), green beans with almonds and lemon-pepper sauce, mashed potatoes with garlic and cream cheese (David sacrificed his fingers by peeling the potatoes), chicken topped with homemade honey mustard sauce, bacon, cheese and mushrooms, and — of course — chocolate cake.

Oh, and lots of wine.

Yum.

Here are some photos.

Looks like you guys had a blast! But, Aaron - please don't tell me you were letting the dog help you with your salad and drinking wine out of a beer glass with a straw!

I met Damion many moons ago - he's a doll.

For all who are writing me:

I WAS NOT DRINKING WINE FROM A BEER GLASS WITH A STRAW.

It was whiskey and Coke, from a nice, cheap IKEA glass. The red tint is from Creme de Almond, a nice additive if you ask me.

Oh...I miss you guys! Remember, I'm easy to please at dinner...you could've just gotten me a bottle of wine and a straw. And maybe some porn on DVD.
