Hell of a party. Ended early because one family's kids had a swim meet in the AM...probably just as well as much wine had already been consumed! I'm stuffed full of good Cajun food (the gumbo was out of this world) and high on the warmth of laughter with good friends, the kind that leaves your belly hurting afterward. In this company, it didn't matter at all that our front hall is currently plywood and the downstairs bathroom a vacant shell...there aren't many people I would invite to a construction zone for dinner, but these guys all make that cut.
Comic moment of the afternoon: while in the kitchen getting ready for the party, I overheard Thing Two and The Girl in the family room debating what music videos they were going to play from the on-demand part of our cable service. I was only half listening until I heard them settle on Chris Brown. The problem was that I knew they were looking for one of the CHARLIE Brown holiday clips! Close, but no bananas...glad I intervened in time. ;)

Doesn't gumbo have okra in it? (shudder). :-)
ReplyDeleteI remember the last time I laughed til my belly hurt, but not when or what about. That is such a wonderful thing.
Our version does have okra...definitely an acquired taste (texture?) but it is cooked down to a point where it is essentially invisible. It hurt to get up this morning, but last night was worth it!
