Food porn: Halibut

IMG_6895

Amanda prepared a great dinner last night!

We ate baked halibut with a green onion/lime/cilantro cream dressing and fresh greens. We drank Dirty Hos (Raspberry Framboise and Hoegaarden) and ate homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Sergio's reaction: "This is the best fish I've ever fuckin' tasted."

Compliments to the chef!

Paolo survives parents

A few weeks back, I documented (and to some controversy) on Jeanna's blog how nervous I was feeling about Amanda's parents coming to stay with us. The gag reflex to parents is natural, right?

Roger and Sheree left after a 10-day stint and I survived SURPRISINGLY unscathed. As I expected, everything was TERRIBLE!

They made several dinners for us and bought groceries. UGH! They fixed everything in the house and painted the kitchen! HOW AWFUL! They PUT UP with Sergio's late night antics. WHAT PRUDES! They seemed to wholeheartedly enjoy themselves and even said that. BLASPHEMY!

I mean LOOK at these people. Do you SEE how MEAN they can be?

For some ODD reason, the whole experience actually wasn't all that bad.
