I had a friend over for dinner. We're in the beginning stages of starting a little dining club. I think we're going to trade off weeks. Anyway, dinner turned out reasonably well, although I need to work on timing everything. I always underestimate prep time.

Anyway, after dinner we were drinking Guinness shakes (take a half-pint of Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream and blend with one pint of Guinness draught) and I showed her my sister's Geschwinday letter. My friend was cracking up - I had told her about Geschwinday before - and was very into it. Anyway, to get to the point, I have the coolest sister ever. Love ya, Gracie!
