Peter and I WON!! We beat the team of Tanya and Rachel.[1]
I hate five-hand/double-deck pinochle. 16 cards is too many for my brain to manage.
Playing pinochle with dancing friends involves stuffing one's self with carrots, hummus, pretzels, and Oreos. Yum. ;)
Speaking of food, I like JB's Japanese soy sauce, and she's so cool for feeding me noodles & veggies when I showed up to briefly visit her and
chlomar before going to P+R's.
I still really wish the game's name were spelled 'peaknuckle'!
[1] This is exciting to me since my first evening of pinochle involved an unbelievably long game filled with unbelievably unlucky hands for everyone. So, merely making the bid during a hand was progress, let alone winning.
