Last week, our friend Chev came to DC for a conference and stayed through the weekend to visit. Kevin and I decided to throw a fancy dinner party, because we don't need much of an excuse to have all of our friends over. We made spaghetti and meatballs from scratch, with garlic bread and salad. The recipes didn't work quite as well as we'd hoped in the larger quantities we made - the noodles all got stuck together and the sauce never fully thickened - but everything was delicious nonetheless.
After dinner, we learned how to play True American, the drinking game from New Girl. It was really silly and a lot of fun and made a complete mess of our basement. Some of the questions tended a bit more towards British history than American history, and others were nothing more than inside jokes that only a handful of people ever stood a chance of answering correctly. That was probably due mostly to the alcohol. And an unfamiliarity with the game.
In the morning, we made bacon and pancakes and scrambled eggs and drank mimosas and played board games until people drifted home. It was a great weekend, and we have Chev completely convinced that she needs to move to DC. She should be here more permanently this summer, and I can't wait.
