Last Saturday, the Wife, Mother-in-Law, and I hosted a holiday dinner soiree at the Sutton abode. Good times were had by all.
A few notes/highlights:
- The slate tile was a big hit. It even survived a couple drunken games of darts.
- The menu was primarily Italian-style fare. We did have crab rolls in split-top hot dog rolls that we’d had shipped from Boston — they were a big hit.
- We made waaaaaaaaay too much food. Should have forced people to take doggie bags.
- I doubt anyone else even noticed, but I felt the music mix was spot on.
- We had, at one point, three Asians in our house. In Colorado, this is actually worth pointing out. Sadly, though, that was the (almost) full extent of our ethnic diversity.
- I’m actually impressed with how long it took the crowd to get into “Hey! What’s this?!” mode at our bar/liquor collection. Absinthe and Japanese Whiskey were the most exotic samples that were poured.
If you didn’t get invited and think you should have been, I apologize deeply.
Don’t take it personally, though, OK? Good. 
Japanese sippin’ whiskey is the tits. What about the lone black guy (Judy’s coworker?)
Oh, right. He’s a regular. I forgot about him because they all hid downstairs…
I would too with all the white people upstairs.
Dude! You know 3 other asian people? That’s huge!
No Soju?
Rahim: I know, dude!
Da Kine: Yeah, there was soju, too.
Wow, how did you guys get the Split Tops? I’m jealous and hungry. Damn, now I want lobster rolls.
We had Jill ship ‘em to us.
We were going to do lobster rolls, but Maine lobster in the winter in Colorado is not an affordable party food option.
