The Fish Fry Where I Gained Five Pounds!
When I blogged earlier, I neglected to mention (because at the time I forgot) that there was a fish-fry at my parents' house for supper today. Mom summoned as much family as is still in town and we had a hyuuge feast. Dad deep-fried a ton of battered fish, there was potato salad, coleslaw, my oriental salad, beans, lasagne, chantrelle mushrooms, buns, fresh blueberry pies and rhubarb pies. Hope I didn't forget anything, because it was all very blogworthy! I pigged out big time. Silly me...I weighed myself after supper and I was five pounds heavier than the last time we ate there. Yikes!
This oriental salad recipe card was inspired by Beth, who posted a really cool smoothie recipe card on her blog...this recipe is from my sister Cindy, and I used Christy's Kodoku kit from Butternug Squash Designs. (Click to enlarge image)
Let's see, who all was there? My parents, the four of us, Cindy & family, Auntie Nancy, Christine & Keith and Paige & Ethan, Uncle Barry & Auntie Maggie, Marnie & Sean and Kaia & Vann, Uncle Bob & Auntie Josie, Uncle Cliff & Auntie Lurdes and Kevin. Whew 28 of us. And that's not even the whole clan! But it's so great to see my mom with all her sisters and get together with as much family as possible!
A while after supper the group started to dwindle as everyone left. Christine & Keith and the kids are staying at Cindy's tonight. So we were the last to leave and I played Yahtzee for a while with Mom and Auntie Nancy. By 10:30 or so, Carter was done. "I want to go home". So we packed up all our luggage and headed for home. It was a beautiful day. (And I'm still full!) It's now almost 1:00 as I'm finally finished posting...I'm heading for bed.
