I'll just do a quickie post:

Great to see Mark & Ming in town, as well as Rich, Joanna, and Sueanne. Joe came along from work, bringing plenty of sparkling cider for everyone to drink (damn you, department of corrections). Honey-mushroom meatballs, swiss-style fregola, spaghetti with oven-roasted tomato sauce, chicken marinated in Indian spices and strawberry shortcake comprised our five course meal. Gotta go.
