friday night

Yesterday evening, Brian’s parents came over for a cookout. We had some good stuff to eat and then chatted and drank wine and beer the rest of the evening. Brian’s dad made some delicious Italian sausage-stuffed hot peppers for the occasion–I’ll have to get the recipe from him some day. These went well with dinner, which consisted of the following: BBQ boneless pork chops, three bean dish, a mesclun and romaine salad, thyme potatoes, and a yellow cake with chocolate icing.

Jake and Pappy Law played their version of “Calvin Ball” most of the evening. This involved most of the items on the porch, a few hockey sticks, and a big plastic puck. Interesting.
