We Love Family Dinners!

Justin and I went to Julie and Phil's house for a family dinner on Wednesday night! Andrea is in town, so we all sat down to have supper together!

We had chips and home-made salsa for an appetizer and then we moved on to a main course of terriyaki marinated shrimp and scallops, corn on the cob, awesome coconut rice (I can't remember the whole name, but awesome is the perfect adjective to describe it), and broiled marinated tofu prepared by Andrea. Every part of our meal was out-of-this-world-amazing.....and then we had dessert! Julie had made, by hand, raspberry frozen yogurt, and she garnished each serving with fresh, organic raspberries! Is your mouth watering yet?!

Phil, our wine expert, had two bottles ready when we arrived. Andrea had given him a Venturi Aerator (as seen in the pic below) for his birthday, and we had a lot of fun putting his new toy to use. The jury is still out wether the Venturi is better at being a conversation piece or a wine enhancer....maybe a few more bottles will help us decide! ;)

After we finished our supper and dessert we lingered on the porch for quite some time just talking and enjoying each other and the beautiful night. I am sure that would could have talked the night away if Justin wasn't nodding off from not getting a full night's sleep the night before.

Thank you, Julie, Phil and Andrea for such a wonderful evening!
