Dinner at Fran's

[mojosmom]

I went to dinner at my friend Fran's tonight. She made roast pork, and we had cheesy potatoes, and a green salad, and green beans wrapped in bacon, and corn, and baked apples with almonds, and I brought strawberries for dessert, with a topping of yogurt, honey and chopped walnuts. I brought home leftovers.

Fran's granddaughter and Cheryl's daughters were also with us. While we had dessert, they were sitting in the floor of the living room watching a movie. Fran has a cat, and at one point we looked in and the cat had joined the girls. They were lined up on the floor in a row: Alex, Clare, cat, Jennie, all watching the film. I wish I had had my camera!

After dinner we played Trivial Pursuits. I think Fran has every edition of the game known to man. My team got all our wedges, and made it to the center. So the other team thought they'd get us by asking a sports question. They were so wrong! I had the answer immediately! Because the question was, "Who wanted Polo Magazine to stop using that name?" No, dears, that's not a sports question. That's a fashion question! (It was Ralph Lauren, of course.)

My only hope of getting the orange pie slice is heavily dependent on the requirement of the trivia question being "Leisure" based rather than the other "Sports" topic.

*chuckles*

Go, YOU!!
:D

Sounds like a very nice evening with way too much food... ;)

Here, when someone gets all the wedges ("quesitos", which means "little cheeses", in Spain, because of the similarity they have with this popular dairy product of the same name) and gets to the center, they have to answer correctly 4 questions out of a single card (so you can miss 2 out of 6) to win.

I had cheesy mashed spuds for the first time yesterday. Is there some magic to it, or do you just grate cheese and go "mix"?

Very yummy.
