groundhog day
Feb. 3rd, 2008 11:47 amIn the evening Nick and I trooped over to the lovely ebeths, where she'd fixed me posole and the best dessert ever- angel-food-cake slices swimming in lemon-curd-whipped-creme.
Somehow, Nick and Cath had never had posole before- it's a slightly spicy hominy-pork stew, with fresh cornbread to soak it up and shredded cheese to put on top.
Brad and Claire showed up, scrabble board and dictionary in tow, but we decided we needed to watch Groundhog Day before scrabble. It came out 15 years ago....! where did the time go? We discussed how long Phil was stuck in the temporal loop, and figured it was at least a thousand years.
Claire had gone to sleep, and we wondered if sleepiness would give us a slight advantage in scrabble. Alas, it was not to be so. She utterly trounced us. Dave and the team of Ebeth and Nick battled it out for second place. I came in dead last, after giving up and turning *all* my tiles back in when faced with the palindrome Eiouoie. Cath napped with the puppy, but woke up and suggested that I play the horribly terribly lucrative " e" in front of "faxing" for "refaxing" and a triple word score. After I stopped sobbing with laughter, I went ahead and did it. Yes, I sunk to the level of refaxing. Steve tried to keep one eye open but was struggling mightily when we finally left at 0130.
Yes, I was out past 0100 *playing scrabble*.
And then, Nick and I slept in till 1030! Such decadence.
