Happy Anniversary and Birthday

to Sara and Drew -- they celebrated their first anniversary yesterday. And to Drew. His birthday is today.

On my 30th Birthday (from June)

Slappergories

Sunday night we had a multi-course dinner for two of our teammates (Tobriah and CanErik, who share the same birthday -- Feb 17th). I had everyone pick a course and bring food. We were supposed to do two signature drinks, a KoCanErikee (the baddest pink drink a Canadian can get) and a Tawdry Tobriah (a dirty martini for a dirty girl), but Alyson forgot to make hers so the KoCanErikee ended up being a cosmo. Here's the menu:

Hors d'oeuvres (FanEric) -- Bruschetta
Course 1: Duo of Thai-ppetizers -- Chicken Satay (Brian) and Nim Chow (spring rolls; Dennis)
Course 2: Caprese Salad (CanErik and Erin)
Course 3: Pasta with Tomatoes (Tobriah)
Course 4: Rouladen of Beef (Lisa) -- a german dish that tasted great but looked like poo. seriously.
Course 5: Chocolate layer cake with coffee and vanilla ice cream (Alyson)
Coffee (Marne)

Everything went great despite a few hitches and the highlight of my night was playing Slappergories, a twist on scattergories where we all submitted categories that were relevent to our team. Here are the cards; thought you'd get a kick out of them. (Disclaimer: I didn't do the dirty ones)
