Family Dinner

So when we first moved in and starting exploring our surroundings--that is to say we were no longer shy about putting our food in the refrigerators or using the kitchen when someone else was occupying it as well--there came the occasional murmuring of having a dinner for the residents of our floor to get to know one another. When we found out that the people on the third floor ate dinner together regularly, such murmurings congealed to form a real idea, and from that came what I lovingly refer to as the Family Dinner...

On the menu was: baked salmon with cream cheese, tomatoes and mushrooms, steamed broccoli, roasted potatoes and carrots and red wine. Michelle and Ryan acquired the ingredients and did most of the preparation and cooking and they did a FANTASTIC job, no matter what Shell says about "her standards."

The food was delicious--end of story. And beyond that, we all had a great time! Mind you, the entire floor did not participate, but those of us who did enjoyed some great conversation and companionship that brought us all closer together, a quality everyone should seek in their neighbors.

Nick more or less lives in Iceland. He proved the wine, as you can see!
Ryan is awesome, despite being from Canada!
Judy is from China and is in Iceland studying English!

It was a great deal of fun and we're planning on doing it again. In fact, I have been contracted to do Mexican food since I skipped out on cooking this time, hahaha! Dia De Los Muertos is quickly approaching as well, so stay tuned to see what kind of mess I concoct then!
