Wine and Dine June 2008

Last night was definitely a night to remember. It was a night of celebration and commemoration to our beloved news anchor Tim Russert. Don't get me started!!!

Congratulations Joey on your new job and teaching credential! Reach for the stars because Muzzy has definitely given you inspiration. Je suis la jeunne fille. =)

The night started off with two beautifully decorated food platters.

Imported from Spain!!! This platter features authentic Spanish queso, spicy chorizo, lomo, regular chorizo, jamon, and crackers! Definitely a party on my taste buds!

This lovely fruit platter includes a plethora of vitamins from these sweet mangoes, apples, plumsies, and cherries. FYI, cherries may wreak havoc on the digestive system and may cause diarrhea if eaten in large amounts. =)

I love cornic!!! The salty garlic taste of this crunchy treat makes me smile and have bad breath.

Andrew decided that he wanted to make us his delicious OLIVE OIL CAKE!!!

Here they are the Zester and the Baker. I was the taster! =)

The secret ingredient...

It's done!!

Absolutely delicious!!!

After dessert we played Last Word which was very stressful. Boardgames that have timers and require talking fast give me anxiety but I LOVE IT!!!


Let me give you an example of how this game is played:

Category: THINGS THAT ARE EXPENSIVE
*That begin with the letter N.

Me: Nooses
Joey: Nooses?
Andrew: Yeah, well a Chanel one?
Timer: Buzz
Me: YAY I get to move a space!!

The night was only getting started because we were serenaded by our very own private dancer...

Tina Turner!! I watched her boogie her bootie in London as I petted what was once a Mink family/Mimi's reincarnated fur. It was very soft and warm and can also be worn around the neck.

Soon the night ended and I came home to this adorable baby boo boo butt...

He kind of looks like he has a lazy eye here!! I still love him though with all my heart. <3<3<3
