Tonight my sister and I cooked my parents a marvelous dinner as an anniversary present. After being married and totally devoted to each other for 25 years, they deserved a nice night out. Since we couldn't really afford to send them out for a night on the town, we decided to make a gourmet dinner, set the table, and play some smooth jazz music to serve them at our own restaurant, Sameg (original name, huh?). We planned to have it on their actual anniversary, but the death virus struck us all (except for dad, he was spared) and we had no choice but to reschedule. So with everyone finally happy and healthy tonight, dinner was served!
Mom and Dad got to help pick out the menu. We decided to feast on bacon wrapped jalepenos and cream cheese, wilted spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, roasted chicken with potatoes, lemon and asparagus, and molten lava cakes ala mode. See the wonderful place setting? Oh how I loves my Fiestaware!
Here are the two lovebirds. Talk about some goofy faces!
Here's our pretty table scape. The little bride and groom stood on top of their wedding cake 25 years ago, then on my wedding cake two months ago. No pressure, Sam.
Everything turned out surprisingly delicious! Especially the lava cakes. They were rich and gooey and borderline sinful. Here's Sam in mid chocolate death.
Don't worry Sam, Scout will save you!!
After dinner, the boys played some racing games on the Xbox and the girls got silly. We looked at more funny lunch boxes online for a while and mom bid on one. We'll see if she wins in a few hours. Then we gave Buddy a new hairdo.
Hey Mr. Talley man!
All in all a great night! Tomorrow we're all going for lunch to the Nagasaki Inn for Sam's going away outing. She already had a party, but has decided that she needs a farewell lunch too. Then on Sunday, Mike and I will be making the trek up to Bloomington with them where we'll help Sam move in her room and hopefully visit some of our friends that are still in the area.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!! Your marriage is truly an inspiration. Mike and I hope we are as happy as you two are together after 25 years! We love you!!!

Hahaha dropping toys on my face and then grinding them in is not helpful Scouty.
I swear, Buddy does like dressing up a little too much. And I've got that stupid Talleyman song stuck in my head.
