Cooking This and That: Dinner, Drinks, and Games with Good Friends

Isn't it nice to invite a group of friends over that you know, without a doubt, you will have a night full of laughs and fun times? Well, this weekend we will have a group of eight, including us, to play all sorts of games and just hang out. This will take place in our basement, or as Chuck likes to call it, the "man cave". It is quite fun, and has basically anything you could want for a good party - a stocked bar, a kegerator, wine fridge, Rock Band, darts, and other assorted games.

Each of my guests is also bringing an appetizer, which is why my app department on this menu is a little sparse. As always, check back for recipes and the rest of the menu!
