Christmas Birthday Farewell Dinner Party

due to a snowstorm in southern ontario, matt didn’t want to drive home on saturday as planned.  instead, he and his canadian companions stayed the night before heading out on sunday afternoon.  so on saturday evening, we put together a big dinner.  i think the dinner was meant to celebrate a 19th birthday, but i suspect it was also because we had nothing better to do.  thankfully, we weren’t having a snowstorm in grand rapids, so we headed out to meijer and bought everything that we needed for dinner.  i also bought groceries for the next week because i was going to be home alone (all my housemates will be home in kalamazoo, alaska, and canada) and without a car.  we put together a splendid meal of chicken alfredo, corn and peas, garlic bread, and chocolate muffins for dessert.  there were also enough leftovers for me to eat during the week, so i wouldn’t need to cook much.  after dinner, we decided to digest by the fireplace, so matt and andrew cooked up a roaring fire while the rest of us lounged around on sofas and read magazines or slept.  i find that cooking and reading by a fire are some of the most relaxing activities in the world, so i’d say that my holidays have started out on the right foot.
