Who Says Cowboys Can’t Cook?

January 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Two weekends ago Dallas had to travel to Fort Worth for work so he got a ticket to go see the Dallas Cowboys play the Eagles in their home field playoff game. They won. Dallas was ecstatic!

The following weekend, this past Sunday, the Cowboys played the Vikings. Dallas cooked a bunch of Japanese curry stew and invited a friends over to watch the game. Dallas was all decked out in his Cowboys gear as he was cooking in the morning. I wasn’t sure who I wanted to cheer for, but I kind of wanted Brett Favre to do well so I wore my Packers tshirt. Dallas didn’t really like it, but oh well. In the end, or actually, right from the beginning, the Cowboys did not do well and lost the game. But at least everyone liked the curry!

Later on we watched the second game and played some games. Killian brought over a Press Your Luck game for the Wii so we took turns playing that. We also busted out our new Super Mario Brothers game.

And ate more delicious curry.

O Christmas Treeeeee

Jessica and Tessa did a good job decorating the Christmas tree at the cookie party on Saturday. They only had help with the taller branches. It looks great. I think Jess had fun looking at all of the ornaments. She kept showing them to me to take a photo. They also made sure they put all the Packers ornaments in the front and hid all the Cowboys ornaments in the back.

Jess sure is still shy. It’s only when she is in the other room with playing with Tessa and my mom or Aunt Sue that she actually was talking. I have to keep reminding myself that even though she’s not talking it’s not that she’s not thinking or caring. Her brain is still going a thousand miles an hour, you can tell my her actions, even if she’s not saying anything. Hopefully someday she’ll snap out of it.

Thanksgiving at Brian & Jill’s House

Dallas: “Quit interrupting me while I’m watching the Cowboys!”

At the kid table/sports enthusiasts table/unmarried guy table: Chen-Je, Limey, Dallas

This year we didn’t go to Vegas for Thanksgiving because we just bought our condo. We didn’t go to my brother’s house because he spends Thanksgiving in Stevens Point, WI, with his wife’s family. We didn’t go to my parents’ house because Dallas only had one day off and we didn’t want to spend it driving 4.5 hours each way. Every year Brian and Jill have Thanksgiving dinner for their family and friends who are in town. We had lots of fun visiting with everyone, playing with Quinn and Vegas (Brian & Jill’s dog), watching 3 football games, and playing cards. Quinn’s new thing is to kiss everyone. It’s not even a kiss really. He leans his head next to yours and says “Mwah!” So cute. Everyone was bragging that they’d gotten more kisses from Quinn than anyone else.

The food at dinner was so delicious. Jill made an oven turkey and Brian made a fried one. Jill also made green bean casserole and stuffing. Jen made butternut squash soup and mashed potatoes. Chad baked pumpkin pie. Kristin’s mom made a pie and sent it over. Meg made a cranberry jello mold. I brought a bottle of Sasha’s wine (Eno Wines) from and baked cookies. Dallas made spring rolls (more on that later). Chen-Je brought several bottles of wine. I remember really liking the Alamos Malbec.

It was kind of nice to call a cab Thanksgiving night and go home. I don’t think I’ve gone home on Thanksgiving night for years!
