Tonight was a fun one, full of good food and gaming. I’ll start off with dinner, which I actually started preparing last night. I had our dinner for this Friday planned since last weekend. I was making this recipe from Smitten Kitchen for macaroni and cheese, using smoked cheddar in place of the white. Because of the time involved, I wanted to have it oven-ready for tonight.
When I got home today, the house smelled delicious. It was a cold and wet day, and the hot and creamy macaroni was perfect to eat on a snowy evening.
We paired the macaroni with all-beef hot dogs, and I munched on some crunchy carrots alongside. It was a tasty, comforting meal that left me feeling satisfied when I finished. I loved the combination of flavors, and the smokiness that the cheddar brought to the macaroni.
Once we’d finished eating, we sat down to watch some TV before settling in for a couple of hours of Magic games. We hadn’t played since last weekend, and I was eager to break out my cards and challenge The Boy to a couple matches. While we played, I sipped on a bottle of Shiner Bock – one of our favorite beers. I love how smooth it is.
I don’t know who won most out of the three or four matches we played, but we did have a lot of fun – and I learned a lot more about the game this go-round, too. We finished playing after midnight - I can’t believe we played so late!
Speaking of late, it’s almost one, and we’re both ready to head up to bed for some rest. I hope you all had a great Friday and I’ll see you tomorrow!
