Meatfest 2008

Well, we still have a clean record. Nobody got a case of food poisoning.* The girls threw in a turkey for good measure. It was the juiciest turkey we've ever had. Matty and I cleared the freezer out of a few tri tips, a leg of lamb, a corned beef, some slabs of pork ribs, and a slab of chicken breasts. Fruit salad also featured heavily. Bless.

The Hoegaarden keg blew.

The crowd was a bit more sedate than usual. We still had a handful of casualties who ventured into the party sauna (sauna not on) and ended up spending the night (and this was considered sedate :))

Jean-Michel and Lucie were up for the weekend and plied us with drinks and lovely things from the bakery we don't normally frequent because it's always a zoo in there.

We are still battling our sinus infections and are a bit low energy. Matt has got a hot date with Joel and some peaks in the backcountry this weekend. I have a hot date with a three year old.

* I am not counting the staph food poisoning the five adults of the household at the time got two years ago. That infection had nothing to do with Meatfest. I am still sad about missing the Shins and Belle and Sebastian show at the Hollywood Bowl (and hanging out with Erin) because of it.
