so, a couple weeks ago, cody had the brilliant idea to suggest having sunday night family dinners.
the tradition was born and it's since been wonderful.
week 1: inaugural supper at willie/laura/cody's place complete with delicious lemon chicken, salad, vino, beer and browines. the dinner was followed by hilarious games of taboo and cranium, seated on their unbelievably comfy $15 couches and surrounded by their fun new decal decorations.
week 2: ruthie visits for a week (!) and replaces me at family dinner while i'm in yosemite.
week 3: we are treated to a delicious meal made by willie's parents. the menu included an old poor family favorite of pasta carbonara, a new meg favorite of basil and mint salad, with some other crowd pleasers thrown in like baguettes, alcohol, ice cream [and lots of laughter]. in related food news, meg had her first olive last night and apparently willie once had bacon filled chocolate.
week 4: will not be this weekend, as some people are traveling for the fourth of july, but next weekend. in fact, we are going to make it a forbes family weekend. festivities will kick off with a housewarming party at willie/laura/cody's [possibly with a keg], followed by a day on the water with cody as sailing captain only to be topped off with a bbq on my roof for forbes family dinner number four.
[happy now, meggie?]
