Dinner Guests

Had my lovely dinner guests tonight! It was nice to cook for more than two people. It was kind of a gloomy day today, though it didn't rain hardly at all. It's supposed to rain heavily tomorrow.

 

I made my version of the noche buena dinner: pork, rice and black beans, with some tostones and croquetas. It was pretty tasty.  I love when I have guests over because it means all that cleaning is for a good reason. I took some pictures of the apartment now that it is spic n span:

M. went to Whole Foods and chose two different desserts: hamentashen and mini cupcakes!

A good time was had by all. Radley especially enjoyed having a little kid around. He kissed that kid the whole time and is currently fast asleep from playing all night. And as with any good party, at least one person had to be carried out:

Goodnight, Xavier!


It's nice to have friends that live a few blocks away. Josh and Michele (Xavier's parents) were telling us about the fun that can be had on snow days in the area. Basically, when the city shuts down due to snow (which happened tons of times last year), they know which bars and restaurants open. So we can avoid becoming too stir crazy and get much needed nourishment. Cool! Is it wrong to look forward to that?
