Chinese Writing and Whale's Tails

We were invited to dinner a few weeks ago by the Daniel Douglass family. Brother Daniel fixed perfectly seasoned steaks on the grill while his wife, Meghan, whipped up a delicious bowl of loaded mashed potatoes. Everybody likes loaded baked potatoes, right? Well, these that she made was a big hit. You simply boil your potatoes and mash them. Then add salt and pepper to taste, sour cream, butter, cheeze whiz (in the jar) and fried bits of bacon. This is definitely a dish I'll be keeping in mind the next time we have someone over.

After we ate, we played two new games. Chinese Writing, which is a head game that is hilarious, especially when the other people who have never played before are totally clueless as to how to play.

We also played Whale's Tails. Another mirthful game that had us all cracking up. This game insists that you be able to count, that you are fast with your pointer finger, and that you are quick to know who you are to say "nay!"

If you'd like to know how to play either of these games, email me and I'll be happy to tell you how. Both of these games are terrific party games.

We had dessert after the games. Bruce and I had taken two frozen Mrs. Smith's Chocolate Cream Pies along with us. Brother Daniel had placed them in the fridge so, even though they had been out of the freezer for a couple of hours, they were still a little hard to cut into. The adults were not having a difficult time cutting their spoons into the cold slices, however, we did learn that when you are only three and have very little hands, it can be quite difficult.

Obviously I was a terrible blogger this evening and did not take my camera. However did it escape my purse?

We had a really nice time. Thanks, Meghan and Daniel, for the food, fun, and fellowship.
