verbicideYoga wasn't 30 minutes, it was 60 minutes. Thus I was unable to try the circuit training class. But that's okay, because yoga was fun and challenging. Not beat-your-ass-and-make-you-like-it like Amanda's step class, but that's okay, too. There's a finite amount of excruciating pain I can handle.
Anyhow. Hurried to dress after yoga and actually made it to Chris and Jeff's place on time. Happily Craig, Greg, and David were outside the building and I didn't get lost.
We can add amazing chef to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jeff_nw's vast list of attributes. For our lucky group, he made: risotto, roasted chicken with lemon sauce, and green beans. See, it sounds just like normal food, but it wasn't anything so mundane. The risotto was to die for. I believe we all independently contemplated licking the pot clean. The lemon sauce complimented the roasted chicken perfectly and for a seemingly simple dish, was really outstanding. The green beans were cooked perfectly. Chris had made a lovely orange poppy seed cake for dessert.
I'm going to have to beg for the risotto recipe because it was really exceptional.
Despite the amazing food, I managed to stay within points by eating a small healthy choice entree for lunch and nothing else. I'm glad I saved up for the meal, it was well worth it. And with the hour of yoga, I had activity points left over that I didn't use. So yay.
Again, it's wonderful to continue getting to know Jeff's friends. They're such warm people and they crack me up. We babbled half the night about movies, comic books, and silly pet stories.
Reminds me of this translation of an Araucanian Indian saying: "I shall come again, for I like myself when I am with you." I'm really looking forward to spending more time with these wonderful guys.
