wood for sheep! (and tasty greenbeans)

hosted a dinner party last night. it was great. way to combat adversity, dinner party. get this recipe for success:

• rainy day (so people can get scared away from coming)
  
• people invited being doctors and being oncall (at hospital all night != coming, lots of conversation being about sick diseases and such)
  
• no food assignments (we had pulau, addictive green beans and potato salad as a meal)
• lots of wine.
• german chocolate cake and plum/apricot crisp for dessert.
• settler's of catan as an afterwards
  

given all of this, it turned out great. looking forward to the next one. it was great to finally have people over and social at the house, doctors being social is a rare thing and so i made it a point to take advantage of it as much as possible. the food turned out to also be a huge hit. we also got the opportunity to teach people about settler's and get them excited about that too.

the only downside was that we didn't take any pictures. although i guess if that's our only complaint, we're doing alright.

now going hiking somewhere in south new hampshire. fun!
