Just got home from a great night with my blogger friends. No blogger night would be complete without food ... and pics of the food, lots of pics. :)
This was a GREAT dip ... I think I ate too much of it.
Mmmm, chocolate cover pretzels ... with almonds. Yum!
I even shared my Dulce de Leche with them. :)
This was my plate of goodness.
Then we got down to business. The business of Dutch Blitz! A couple of us had blogged that we'd played it over Christmas with our families at gatherings, so we decided that we should get together and play as well.
Get one old deck and one new deck and you can easily have 6 players ... although, there's a LOT going on at the table ... so much it boggles the eyes at times ... and the people at the far ends have a loooooong stretch for piles at the other end of the table. We decided that we'd rotate after every round to be fair about who sat at the end of the table ... although some people actually
won when they sat at the end ... but you've got to be a
really good player for that!
I looked down at one point at the end of a round and this is what I had left. Yikes!
Thanks for the fun evening, ladies. Even though I ate too much (proven by the stomach ache I have right now - I think it was that one spoonful of corn/chile salsa that Kori made me try) and played hard (proven by the chipped nail polish), I'd do it again real soon. :) Rest up your filangies (sp?) for the next time! ;)
