The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
Today we decided to take advantage of San Francisco’s 7th Annual Dine About Town. We chose B44 to, “Come and take home a slice of Catalan life in Barcelona, Spain”. Of course when food & alcohol are involved… we have to invite Jim & Kelly.
Tonight we met at Poleng for a surprise birthday party for Tami, set up by Chris. We went there early for dinner. The food was great as was the service. I’m gonna have to try and duplicate the Grilled Pork and Pineapple special.
Tonight Mommy & Daddy left for the Philippines. It was a nice visit!
Sandy passed along a photo she took of one of her coworker’s gag gifts.
Judy has made a New Year resolution to become more social and not be such a fraiddy cat!
We had a low key New Years Eve celebration. But we started 2008 started with a nice brunch. We invited Tita Nellie and Doctors Ben & Paulette over for brunch and for whatever reason we decided to serve a five-course meal. Of course I forgot to take a single photo of the dishes. I was happy everyone seemed to enjoy the meal and no one got diarrhea.
Today Daddy wanted to go wine tasting in Napa. I got a recommendation to try a famous restaurant in Rutherford but by the time we got there it was an hour wait. So we drove down the road and ended up at “Go Fish“. The food and service were excellent. I loved the sturgeon, the roasted banana rum ice cream sandwich was to die for.
Our bellies were so full after that we scrubbed the wine tasting and drove home.
According to Jon, this year’s Christmas Party marked its 3oth anniversary.
Jimi made a great salad & soup combo that included my favorite duck confit. More importantly the white beans were fermenting all throughout the night. Come on admit it!
Afterwards we revived the card game a**hole, in which I ended up the… well you know.
Later we played “Werewolf” where unfortunately a lot of innocent lives were lost.
Last but not least, we had the Gag Gift exchange. I was proud of my Dunham Host moldy chocolates. I think Tami was disgusted. 😎
This year we went to Auntie Amy’s for Christmas Eve. As she usually does, there was enough food to feed ten families and everything was terrific.
After dinner Jen & Rick whipped out their Wii unit. Now I’m not into video games but I’ll have to admit I had fun.
Special Thanks to Lyle for not rubbing us the wrong way. Your massages are incredible.
