Saying Goodbye to Warren

Sidecar

Our friend Warren is moving to California for a few months. We had him over for dinner last night. The meal was very simple. Pizza was ordered from Pizza Luce. Warren brought a salad and some frozen pizza rolls. I drank sidecars, Dale drank red wine, and Warren drank his usual drink of rum, soda water, and Rose's Lime Juice. It's hard to say goodbye to friends. In this case his move might turn out to be permanent. We'll find out.

Holiday Entertaining

Two couples that we know from the gym came over for dinner last night. Michelle, who teaches a spin class that Dale takes, and her husband Steve, along with Fred, who also takes the spin class, and his wife Linda arrived around 6:30. Appetizers included cheese, tapanade and crackers. Everyone drank wine except Steve and me who had Tanqueray gin martinis [Note to self: Steve loves Hendricks].

Dale made rigatoni and green beans amandine. Fred and Linda brought the most divine chocolate cake from Cafe Latte in St. Paul (see above photo).

It was a lovely group of people and a good time was had by all.
