Even though the closing on our housing was Aug 28th and Sexybeast has done next to no packing in his apartment, we went to visit some friends this weekend in Vernon, NY for a 30th birthday celebration.
Really, the boys wanted to geek out and played some stupid game called Hero Scape. Whatever. I spent time w/ other wives and the new baby. I read Julie & Julia in a day and a half. I preferred the bits about Julia Child, Julie is really self-absorbed and annoying. My friend Melissa and I watched Gosford Park. Clive Owen!!! We had "cooking school" w/ Steph. I can now make the best mac n' cheese and oatmeal cookies.
We drank. We laughed. We sang along to classic rock.
Saturday night we sat on their over sized homemade picnic table and gorged ourselves on said mac n' cheese and a grilled pork loin. Which was Sexybeast's and mine contribution to the festivities. It was my gubmint special, an 8 lb loin for 18 bucks. We ate 4 lbs of it.
I also rediscovered the joys of the dollar store. I got a cool popcorn bowl for the new house. Guess how much I paid for it?
We left late morning to get back to the house to finish up the last of the cleaning. But we did stop for an early lunch at El Canelo for the 7.99 all you can eat lunch buffet. I had chili rellenos, chilaquiles, chicken fajitas, refried beans and a ton of other things. Normally, I stay away from buffets. I find the food to be of poor quality and then it sits there getting cold and congealed. If yr ever in Vernon, get thee to El Canelo.
After dinner, the moon was full and brightly coloured leaves on the trees looked so serene. And I felt like I finally fit in.

Hey, I spent the non-barfing portion of my weekend playing a game called arkham horror. (and watching hockey) Geek out!
arkham horror! chris wants that game so bad!
I'm a little worried that I know if what you speak AND will add that I think Last Night on Earth is a better Halloween game than Arkham. Though AH can be a blast...
I have no idea what you people are talking about. But woOt! for the dollar store!
Sounds like a fun weekend. =)
lion: last night on earth is good time ; )
cheeks: whoot for the dollar store!
*puts away heroscape board*
is there a board-game theme going around blogland?
i want some mexican food...
i'm putting out my psychic vibes "play more games, bloggers! play more games!"
guacamole is THE perfect food
I make some pretty good chicken and green chile quesadilas. If you host a board game roleplay kinky sex housewarming party - I'll bring them as my dish to pass!
it's a date, cheeks!
I love the dollar store! My local fave is the Dollar General chain. Juice, even!
All of that food sounds delicious. I can't wait to see your forthcoming mac n' cheese!
