I just got back from Easter dinner at my neighbor's parents' house. I had a wonderful time; it was great that I didn't have to spend the day alone. It started with two glasses of peach champagne; I think the second one got supplemented with some pear champagne... and then I had two glasses of wine with dinner... I don't know what it is about Fresno, but it seems like every time I hang out with people here I drink more than I usually do.
I feel like I turned into my brother when he's eating dinner with his in-laws though. He eats everything they serve so as to not get made fun of. Of course, I grabbed a little bit of everything so as to not have to eat a lot of anything I wasn't going to enjoy. I wasn't worried about getting made fun of, but I didn't want anyone to make a fuss over finding me food I'd enjoy. As it turned out, I liked everything but the main course... I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy ham. Dessert, however, was worth waiting for. Dessert was a meringue shell with lavender ice cream covered in strawberries. Mmmmmm.
