Supper Club

Last night was our December Supper Club.  I'm kind of glad it wasn't at my house this year.  It can be a lot of work to have your house all decorated and "Christmas ready" for a party.  But Sara's house looked very festive and her recent "home improvements" looked great.  (Can't wait to see it all done!)

We had a great meal and then our annual Christmas ornament Chinese style gift exchange.  Gifts were opened,

 

gifts were taken,

and gifts were worn.

 Stories were told...

and Sara's newest quilt was displayed and oohed and awed over.  She did a great job.

 Everyone had a great time...and we get to do it again next month!

Advent Candle Friends

I think the theme this year for the lighting of the advent candles at our church was "friends". The men from our Supper Club group were asked to light the candle this week. We all were originally members of the same church and they (and us as couples) have been getting together for dinner every month for the past (in February) 29 years.

What a handsome group of guys!!

Most of us were able to go to lunch afterwards. It was a good time.

Cooking

As most of you know, I try to avoid cooking (and ironing for that matter) as much as possible. However, since August is our month to have our Supper Club meet at our house, some cooking is in order. The plan is to have "make your own tacos" a la Fuzzy's Tacos. I'm going to cook a pork roast, a beef roast and chicken in the crock pot (on different days of course), and shred the meat to be used for the tacos. I found some recipes on line, went to the grocery store (which I also try to avoid whenever possible), and the pork is cooking now. Can't wait for Saturday!
