Martini Monday!

We've started a fun little tradition with our friends Nelson and Christina in which we gather on Monday nights to drink martinis and chow down on whatever I decide to make. Nelson aptly named this "Martini Monday", so that's what we all call it.

Just to catch you up on the awesome that happens on these weeknight extravaganzas, here are some photos.
This is the southwest cheeseball I made the very first week, in the shape of an apple. (Because food always tastes better in the shape of other food!)
Our sukiyaki setup in the lovely Beverly residence.

Sada, concentrating VERY HARD on sukiyaki. 
The Wreath 'o Meat. 


Nelson, our resident martini-maker.

Pork tacos with slaw and pineapple.
One of those awesome group pictures that is so magnificently unflattering.
A picture I took after too many martinis.

I really enjoy the arrangement of us bringing the food and them providing the booze, and I try to make something different every week. I'll have to post the instructions for White People Sukiyaki and I've been wanting to explain my taco theorem for quite some time, so keep any eye out for that nonsense!

But mostly just be jealous, because seriously. Martini Monday is the best way to do Monday.
