An Evening with Friends

You know how difficult it is to find time to do anything these days.  We go from one thing to the next and the next with no time for anything it seems.  Brent was off between Christmas and New Years.  Ah, yes, I remember all those good years at AMP when we were both off during that time.  It was wonderful - even though it was furlough without pay.  Anyway, we took advantage of this time to have Neil and Terri Seis come up for dinner. 

I served a shrimp civeche with champagne as an appetizer.  It was good and pretty easy to make, although it took longer for the lime juice to "cook" the shrimp than I had anticipated.

The salad was our go-to salad these days (because it's easy, it's good and voignier from Pine Ridge is a fantastic match).  We picked up a lovely standing rib roast which Brent did on the grill.  We served that with a yummy new potato recipe I stumbled upon and asparagus wrapped in filo with parmesian.
Terri brought some wonderful Christmas cookies and candies she made - oh man they were yummy.

All in all, a good meal with good friends.
