Cori gets her butt kicked part 2

Okay, so Darrel won Scrabble. That was a little hiccup in my gaming season (the season never really ends). I was ready to kick booty (Darrel's booty in particular) when we got together with our friends Evan and Ayako for dinner and a game Saturday night. Not the case.

We started out with a yummy dinner of sushi rolls, korean pancakes (the name escapes me), chicken rolls with veggies and cheese, miso soup, and a yummy beef chinese dish I forget the name of. I love a new food adventure. I learned that it's true that for the Japanese, presentation is as important as anything. Ayako served up those chicken rolls with a feast for the eyes!




I took a cue from her as I dressed up the dessert of almond shortbread tarts with chocolate-hazelnut spread and pictures made out of bananas and strawberries.

Dessert accompanied a hard core game of Ark of the Covenant. Darrel and Evan dominated the board to the point it almost wasn't fun to finish the game.





Evan and Ayako are quite the pair, always ready with a smarty remark to get a laugh, but Darrel and Evan definitely had the last laugh this time.
