Homemade meatball & barley soup with bone marrow smeared over toasted bread on the side.

This stuff is actually pretty decent: Srikaya Coconut Egg Spread

So far I've only had it on toast. I should look up what else I'm supposed to have it with.

Of the six or so root beers I tried, these were the winners:

Jackson Hole Soda Company Buckin' Root Beer

Triple XXX Root Beer

CV, I'm gonna have to check those out. I like root beer. Total Wine seems to have a pretty good selection of sodas and root beers--never really been to that side of the store, though.

Anyone try these?: Frosty Paws

Gus used to love them. Haven't tried them with Buddy yet.

As for me, I prefer Breyer's.

Breyer's, not to be confused with Dreyer's, which is known as Edy's east of the Rocky Mountains. Mmm, Rocky Road Mountains ...

Our go-to dessert on game night: Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate Brownies, undercooked a little to attain a fudge-like consistency (not cake-like), served hot with Edy's Butter Pecan ice cream and Reddi Wip (original flavor)

Dude, what night is game night?

Every other Tuesday. We start with Chimayó, New Mexico red chili powder tacos = Taco Tuesday. Scrabble. Dessert.

We got started on the chile powder when visiting Gail's aunt Clara, who lives in Los Alamos. You can get the stuff cheap at a flea market there. She mails it to us.

When I was in Georgia last year, we had friends over every Sunday to watch True Blood and used the occasion as an excuse to have the brownies. Good times.

Pan fried scallops topped with lemon-basil pesto and a side of rice.
