BOTTOM: Card sharks in a feeding frenzy
x
Two of the things we really like to do are eat and play cards. So, combine the two, and you have a great evening of fun. We try to have card parties every month or so while whenever we're at home.

Last night we had a small party, only 8 players (vs. 70 or 80 usually). I decided to try my ongoing quest to be Rachael Ray with another new recipe..this time "quiche".

Now the only thing I know about quiche is that real men don't eat it. So, given that almost all my buddies are now "snipped", quiche seemed like the perfect meal for them. Of course, my excellent souis-chef Kathy helped tremendously. She bought all the ingredients, made all the quiche innards, baked the crusts, and prepared the quiches. I, however, did the most important parts, such as putting the quiche INTO the oven, and loading the dishwasher. So I get credit for the cooking.

The quiche's turned out quite good...we were totally surprised. We made an asparagus and tomato, a multi-mushroom, and a bacon. They were devoured by the card sharks, who then went over the top with Jan's giant Ho-Ho cake, and Fran's homemade eclairs. Diabetes ahoy! Players could barely get vertical enough to move table to table.

The game itself was its usual highly competitive one. It came right down to the end, with Gill getting a "1" in her final game to win the booby prize (don't make me go there), and Koz dealing himself a loaner at 9 points to win with 13, and tie Fran for the overall top prize. Nothing fishy there, nope...

Final Scores
Fran and Koz 68 (tie for 1st), Gary 62 (3rd), Wiz 61 (how's it feel to miss by 1 point...just curious), Mark 56 (admirable for ingesting 2 bottles of wine), Jan 49 (and yet, she's still getting the cottage in the will), Kathy 47 (got some quiche in her eyes, obviously couldn't see the cards), and Gill 45.
