ladies' night
tonight's (last night's, i suppose) ladies' night was another unphotographed success. we have such a good time together. a special thank you to those of you who aren't as crazy about "friends" as the rest of us are and agreed to let us play the 'scene it friends' game anyway - twice. i actually think my addiction to this should could be unhealthy ... but i like it so much i just don't care. :)
ladies' night also helped me accomplish making dinner for the month of march. we had pretzel-crusted chicken and homemade potato chips (white & sweet). yumm-o. i love pretzel-coated chicken. it's so crispy & crunchy & salty. mmmm. the potato chips were questionable. the sweet potatos fried up fairly well, but the white potatos fried inconsistently. some were nice & crispy. others were sad and soggy. our fryer doesn't go as high in temperature as was recommended for the white potatoes, so that could be part of the problem. but i wonder if i was also putting too many in at once & they were sticking together. i'm trying some fresh ones tomorrow for lunch, so i'll see what i can do to fix it.
i did make a successful dip or two for the chips though. a nice thick ranch & a kicky jalapeno/parmesan. and holly had the chocolate fountain going, so that was marvelous. are you ready for the list of things we dipped? we had strawberries, oranges, marshmallows, gummy bears, caramels, twinkies, rice krispie treats, chocolate chip cookies, pretzels, bananas ... we were on chocolate-dipped overload.
we also played the dvd version of 'clue' - which was a first for all of us. it took a while for us to get the hang of it, but it was fun. even if holly & i (we played teams) totally missed that we were supposed to be guessing what item was stolen from the victim - not what item was the weapon.

Sounds like lots of fun. I love Chocolate fondue we do that for my birthday instead of Cake. YUMMM!
Is the game of Clue a new version as a kid we had a video one but that would be really outdated now.
i'm going to guess it's a new version. you pick which game you want to play (there's probably 15 to choose from) and then there are all these little video snippets as you take your turns. it was different though because there were four things you were needing to guess, not just three. in addition to who, where, and with what you're also guessing what time of day the crime was committed.
can i get the recipe for the pretzel chicken?
