Supper Club – March 09

There was a trampoline, cut-throat, knock-out and cheese cake. That is just some of the happenings at the Shreve’s house this Supper Club evening. Tom deep fried a turkey but due to premature removal which was due to misreading of the clock which was due to too many Yuengling Light’s…I don’t know where I was going with this…but anyway the turkey was great. Elisa made some very yummy twice baked potatoes, Bobby Jo made delicious green bean casserole and Sue finished it of with her signature cheese cake. Tom also spun out a very tasty first attempt at normal stuffing.

Before we dined the kids worked off some energy on the trampoline. Normally there is a two or three person rule on the trampoline at a time but on such a fine day most rules were overlooked. Nathaniel, Tom and I took on a few games of cut-throat at the pool table while the women folk discussed things.

After dinner Nathaniel, Tom, Shian and I went outside for some knock-out on the basketball court. We got a few games in before we broke into two on two play. Nathaniel and I got smoked but it was fun…and just for the record the little kiddie basketball hoop is OUT OF BOUNDS! There. :)

We all went back inside to dig into the cheese cake. With a few pieces each in our bellies the kids got super-charged and were running around the living room like a mob of Tasmanian Devils. I wish I got a picture of this because it was amazing that someone didn’t walk away with contusions or worse. Kids were running full tilt from one end of the living room to the other as whoever felt brave sat in the middle with their eyes closed trying to catch the runners.

Everyone is in bed now and my eyes are slowing falling. It was another successful Supper Club.
