Game Night

Last Thursday some friends come over to have dinner and play Crack the Case. Completely opposite to D, I am no fan for computer games, as I tend to get frustrated very easily. Board games, on the other hand, are addictive. The two of us can easily lose a Saturday afternoon or a week night to a single round of game!

To feed 4-5 people other than ourselves, our menu included garden salad with homemade croutons, with a raspberry-basil  vinaigrette dressing, a beef & sweet potato curry, brown rice, and coconut brownies. And you have probably already seen the snacks: a huge bowl of very spicy guacamole and some homemade whole wheat tortilla chips.

I took a quick trip to the grocery store for some ingredients and basic pantry items (cocoa powder, salt, etc), and the evening ended up costing me less than $20, pretty sweet for feeding a small crowd. (Pantry items and the fish are counted as our household share, and I paid for the stuff used just for that night.)

Crack the Case was such a fun game to play with a group. We all had tons of fun (with also some beer and pinot noir) shouting out our questions and solving murders.

If you ask, I will volunteer to host another game night again in a heart beat!
