Thanks to my "traveling friends" I enjoyed another wonderful supper last night! I haven't had much of a social life the last few months. Between being sickly and living with sis and kids there's not really been time. And besides, I don't really have a social life anyway.
I got there about 6. I walked in the door and asked if there were any kids there. They promptly told me there was no one under the age of 18. I decided I'd stay!
Then it was time to sit down for supper. I saw Sarah bring in a tray of a dozen or so foiled little bowl things from outside and put them on the table. I had no idea what was inside, but I was excited! We sat down, Scott said prayer, and then the foil packets were passed around. It was wild caught salmon from Alaska. Oh my! It was yummy. I'm telling you there aren't enough exclamation points that could do it justice!
In addition to the salmon there was a salad of mixed greens, apple slices, and pecans with some poppy seed dressing. There was a huge flat Italian bread. There was crackers with warm brie with cranberry chutney(which was good on bread too). I was the last one eating!
I felt like I'd just had one of the healthiest meals ever when it was over. And I'm sure my Omega-3 intake was three times what it usually is for the day!
After supper we played a game that was new to me. It's called "Speed Scrabble". Now, you have to understand I haven't played Scrabble since I was 13. Let's don't do the math on how long ago that was! My dear friends were nice enough to give me a practice run. Then they proceeded to beat me to death for the rest of the evening. My dear friend Sage must be the Scrabble guru of our county! She had already told me I didn't want to play Scrabble with her. I can see she was trying to show some mercy on me!
Even though I got beat into the tile floor, it was loads of fun! I can't wait to introduce my family to this fun game at Christmas. Course, we'll have to buy a couple Scrabble games. And we'll need a Redneck dictionary to help us.
Does anyone know where I can find the Webster's Redneck Dictionary? Surely there's one somewhere!!!
Sounds like a wonderful evening! Think they'd share the salmon recipe? I've got lots of Alaska salmon in my freezer and we're always looking for new ways to prepare it! Try Amazon.com for the dictionary.
