Happy 2015

Happy New Year!

Is it just me or have things been insane the past year? Maybe we can do some catch-up over the next few months.

On Saturday we managed to all be in the same place for dinner + games.

I threw together a super basic salad of arugula and spinach with clementine slices and a honey mustard vinaigrette. Basic but necessary green stuff.

N made a Moroccan inspired stew with a lamb leg, red lentils, butternut squash, onions, tomatoes, and potatoes -- lots of spices. Cumin (seed and ground), cardamon, cinnamon, paprika.

With a bit of basmati rice and toasted vermicelli. I guess vermicelli should be added after the rice is cooked so it stays crunchy.

After dinner, it was a bit late and I didn't feel up to playing our new copy of Chaos in the Old World (BGG), so we played a couple of rounds of Carcassonne.

I had no idea G hated Carcassonne so much. I find it much less boring than ohhhh, say, Uno.

'Til next time, and maybe better documentation on my part.
