We recently had friends over to play that game that my husband loves {as do many others} and I put up with because I also have a dad and brothers that love it as well:
Settlers of Catan.
Anyone else have Catan lovers in their house?
It's kind of like Risk.
I'm more of a Balderdash girl, myself.
Anyway, having a game night gave us an excuse to invite some fun friends over, make a bunch of yummy pizzas and drink lots of beer...and wine.
The menu: Chicken and Garlic Pesto, Margherita flatbread, and {my fave} Pear and Goat Cheese pizzas. Also, salt & black pepper kettle chips, red grapes {I'm addicted and have these around constantly} and a veggie tray with yummy Greek yogurt ranch dip.
And beer. And wine.
The game: Settlers of Catan
The flowers: Sunflowers!
Margherita flatbreads being prepared.
Before going into the oven and then being topped with fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. Mmmmmm...
Had to have something wildly unhealthy around...wait, I think I got these in the all-natural section???
This wine is good -- and even better if you aerate it first.
So I didn't get any nice photos of the finished pizzas...just this sad one! Oops.
An "intense" game of Catan in progress.
Me: "Uh...anyone got any rock? How 'bout some sheep? Anyone? Okay, I'm getting more wine."
Hubby won. Of course.
Cheers to a fun game night!
