its all fun and games......

till there is no more food. he he. we had a bash for mario and lois (frans wife) saturday night. mario turned 25 and requested yellow cake with chocolate frosting and lois turned 73 and wanted strawberry cake so we had both. fran made drunken chicken and a big pot of beans with pork sausage he let cook for 2 days. he also made marios favorite pea salad (yes, he is a freak) . so, eating time comes, we put the beans on the table and the pea salad and much to the dogs delight the table shattered. so, we had drunken chicken, cake and pie. i get to tile my table now which i have been wanting to do. we have a very bad history with glass tables in out household. jimee put her hand through our last coffee table 4 years ago. that was a fun run for some serious stitches. so, no glass in our house and now apparently, outside either. the party was great lasted until about 1 am and fun was had by all and felt the next morning. we moved mario and heather sunday afternoon into a much nicer house and i made chili and corn bread (with straight bacon fat, yum) for everyone. we ran some to fran and ate ours at marios new place. very busy weekend, and we are only down a pot of beans some pea salad and a table. not bad. oh- and upon delivering the goods to fran last night he handed us a new batch of pea salad with "no glass" for mario. very nice.
