Anna, Katie and Mingxiao came over for a little dinner party. I wanted to try out a new chicken recipe, Ginger Sesame Chicken, and some new cookies, Peppermint Pinwheel and Walnut Stuffed Sugar Cookies. Zach made the chicken which quickly disappeared off the platter and he also made the Peppermint Pinwheel cookies. I made the Walnut Stuffed Sugar Cookies and an asian salad with spinach, almond slivers, mandarin oranges, and raisins. Zach had to show Mingxiao the tree stand to prove to her that the Noble Pine we had for our Christmas tree was real! We enjoyed opening some christmas poppers wearing our paper crowns and reading our silly jokes. Cookies were swapped as Anna brought some really good star anise, shortbread, and mint cookies. Katie brought salami and gouda. I warned her about Zach's propensity for making sliced meats disapper and it didn't take long for her to see what I was talking about. Anyway, we had a good time eating, watching House on Fox and playing CatchPhrase which Anna learned can be played by passing the game instead of holding on to it till it beeps. Thanks to the gals for coming and bringing good food.
