 So Cassi and I made a decision that since Monday usually ends up being our premium dinner night, that we spend the most time preparing... maybe we should start bringing friends over to enjoy the fruits of our labor.  Today was the start of this idea and we opted to invite our newly engaged friends  Becky and Doug over.  They are always great company and Doug being a wine expert always pleasantly surprises us with plentiful bottles from his cellar !  Tonight was a perfect meal that made Cassi and I realize how much we love sharing our table with other people.  We capped of the night with a sweet white dessert wine that accompanied a not so delectable dessert... it tasted fine but the batch ended up being a little soupy compared to our usual cream textured ice cream... oh well not every ice cream batch can turn out stellar !
