Last night was a couple's dinner party up in p-town at my friend Kari's house. There was Chris and I, Kari and her husband Steve, co-workers (and spouses) Paul and Sheila, and Dina (co-worker) and Don. We haven't been to a big kids dinner party in a long time and we had a blast. Kari and Steve provided the main dish (rotisserie turkey) while the rest of us brought sides, appetizers and dessert. I made a Mediterranean orzo salad with orzo (of course), sun dried tomatoes, olives, marinated artichoke hearts, diced red onion, fresh spinach and feta cheese all covered with a Greek vinaigrette.

The shindig started at 6:00 pm and while we waited for the turkey to roast we hung out on the back porch enjoying some drinks and appetizers.

When it was finally served, dinner was delicious. Turkey, my orzo salad, marinated veggies, and bread.

With all the chatting and eating we didn't start cleaning up until 10:00 pm. Way past our curfew.

It was a late night for us, but a lot of fun. After a somewhat restless night, we're getting ready this morning to head back up to p-town for our tamale class. Hope I can stay awake!

You didn't used to be able to cook a bagel dog in a microwave, when did you become such a chef? That salad looks delicious!
