Week 30?  Already?

So Generally, for game night, I've allowed myself to indulge my excessive tendencies and buy the things that I wouldn't normally buy.  Things like dill pickle potato chips or etc.  I limited it to some chevre from Reichert's Dairy and then cut up some carrots and celery.  I suppose I'm trying to be good to some extent.  But even so, it's still tough.  Walking through THAT isle to get the pretzels was difficult, none the less.  So we'll go from there.

Last night we had our game night.  The attendance was lower then normal with only 3 Guests (Chris, Holly and Will).  But we had fun none the less.  Chris brought over LEGO Creationary and we played that first.  The point is to use legos to build something and have other people guess (or teams, the rules vary based on how you want to play.  It was interesting to see what was guessed on what.  I think my favorite was the the satellite truck that will tried to build.  He had wheels he pulled out a dish looking piece and there was the guess.  Will ended up winning that.  I imagine it would be a lot harder if you only had one guess.  Afterwards we played Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture, which, afterwards, we called it a night.  Glad to have it.  It always refreshes the batteries a bit.

 Lois also had a new culture for her robiola which gave it a whole new delicious taste.  I'm looking forward to getting some next week (the only reason why I didn't get one this week was because of the game night purchases).  I had a nice time at the market, cloudy (which I prefer), but not too humid and no rain...which is different from most of the other weekends so far.

Fox Hollow Farms had game hens, which I thoughtfully considered buying yesterday, but ended up not.  I am getting better with the roast chicken, but it's not quite good enough yet...but it's getting there.
