St. Patrick's Day Game Night

Me and my friends have been having a game night once a month if we can for a few years now.  For March, we decided to have an early St. Patrick's day celebration.  Ben's days off changed to Friday and Saturdays so we all decided to have a game night on a Friday so he could come.  Lindsay wanted to host this time so we let her.

I wanted to make dessert and it had to be green.  Since Nicole is gluten free and we always make foods and desserts not gluten free and I started to feel bad about it.  I made green gluten free cupcakes.  I learned that gluten free cakes were made with really weird ingredients and that the batter is very gritty.  Once the cupcakes baked, they were very dense.  Don't get me wrong they were pretty good. I also made some watermelon cupcakes as well because I've never seen them before and I wanted to try them.  Sort of an experiment.

The watermelon one was even tasty.  I was a fan.

Friday arrived and I knew I wouldn't have that much time to get ready.  I immediately went home and took a shower while Ben drove to my house.  I decided to look somewhat nice since I got a shower in.  I did my hair and put on a little make up.  I had him pick up some more beer and chips.  When he got here he helped me grab the cooler, the games and the cupcakes.  We took his car over to Lindsay's.

The gate was open when we got there and we decided not to park behind anyone.  Auki greeted us as we walked into the house.  And we saw the Christmas tree.  I can not believe their Christmas tree was still up.  Christmas was months ago and that tree is a huge fire hazard.  We all sat at the table and started playing some games.  One was Heads Up, made famous by Ellen DeGeneres and the other one was called Anomia, that one got your mind thinking quick.  We ate our food prepared by everyone.  Megan made gluten free potato soup, Lindsay made cabbage rolls, Celeste made some sort of potato salmon thing and Nicole made some dip.  There was plenty of food for the night.  Lindsay and Justin also had a giant container of gummy worms.  Ben and I drank green beer and everyone else drank soda or green wine.

Megan told everyone she and Matt were expecting their second kid sometime in July. We all congratulated them.

At about 10 is when everyone decided to go home.  Most of us worked the next day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  Go drink some green beer.  :)
