Friends with benefits

If you know me, you know I don't really cook. Marc is the chef of the house. Most of the time we're both too lazy to make anything exciting though. This is why we're very fortunate to have friends like Chris and Slimey who do cook and, perhaps more importantly, enjoy inviting us over to partake. Tonight we went over there for one of Slimey's new dishes--coconut chicken with papaya salsa, Thai rice, and salad with his homemade bleu cheese dressing. AWESOME.

When we were over there on Friday night, we played the new game that Mike and Diane gave me for my birthday, Redneck Life, with Slimey and his oldest kid, Charles (or Mini-Chuck as Marc calls him). Last weekend, I'd started a game with Mike and Diane, but we didn't get too far, so this was our first full game. It's pretty brainless (unless you're the banker), and it's a lot of fun. I recommend it for anyone's game collection; it's a nice break from the more strategic games we usually play. Plus, the creators have both Oregon and Kentucky connections. It's like the game was made for me.
