So, a night at Kel's proved to be more than magnificent! I'd say one of the many perks to still being single (even at 40), is that you can just "up and at it" to your girlfriend's place for din-din with "the girls!" It's true, our Kels is no longer single. Well, she's single as in not-yet-married, but still, no longer S-I-N-G-L-E, as in...awkward first moments on your first few dates, always saying the wrong thing when he says the right, and lonely late nights talking to no-one but your dog before going to bed.
Not that I'm bitter or anything...it's just nice to be able to visit with your girls every now and then. So as far as I'm concerned, even though Kelly's got a man, she's still one of the girls! :-)
This night proved to be NO different. The girl threw down. She invited us over for laughs and catching up...but this is nothing new. In the summer, she has over her place for some pool-time and nite-time jacuzzi-relaxation. She pulls out all of the stops as she hollers, "Girls! Dinner is ready!" just when the stomach begins to growl. Dinner at Kelly's can be anything from bbq'd chicken and hot-dogs (for our single gal-pals with kids)...but tonight was a far cry from my little friends of Hebrew National. She did not hold back any flavor, preparing for us artichoke spinach dip of the BEST kind...this was an appetizer, of course.
Though she created a delish Steak Escafia, my portion of dinner was Chicken with this creamy delicious Blue-Cheese (I think) sauce slightly tarted to make your mouth water even at the sight of it! As a side she went with a baked potato, being mindful of my dislike of the pork-factor--at least when it comes to eating. :-) She fired up some green beans, pulled out our favorite sodas and we were ALL in seventh-heaven.
The stuff was so good that my roomie grabbed the recipe for her sauce...so it looks like I will be happy at home and when at Kel's!
Once again, the evening proved to take us until a little after midnight. That's not hard to do when you get a group of gals together who just need to unwind with true friendship, conversations that breathe some life in ya and just have some good ole fun!
Thank you, Kel! Once again, you've outdone yourself...we love you terribly and can't wait until the next time! My house and 'cuzzi, perhaps?
