Yep, my dad cooked a huge dinner for us. We rented the clubhouse in our subdivision to accomodate everyone and basically spent two whole days cooking away. It was a lot of work, but my dad loves to do stuff like this, so I hope he enjoyed himself. I'm so grateful for him, it was so good of him to work so hard for us and our friends. Plus it was fun to have people meet my dad and taste of his culinary genius! My only disappointment was that I didn't get ANY pictures of that night! I know crazy! I really feel terrible about that, but we were so busy prepping food and entertaining I literally didn't have a chance to snap any picutres. Thank goodness for our friends, the Edrosa's they were recruited into the kitchen and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with my dad frying spring rolls and fish, etc. They were so awesome!
Anyways, everything turned out great, the food was yummy and Dave was happy to be able to watch Notre Dame beat Oklahoma on the big screen TV. I hope everyone had fun.

5-Green Curry with Thai Vermicelli noodles

I do have one picture (I didn't take it.) This is Nicole, who went to high school with Dave and I (she and Dave actually went to Junior Prom together!) Her husband also went to school with us but was a few years older. My dad coached Nicole and I in soccer when we were younger. He pretty much taught us everything we know about soccer and Nicole was an amazing player until she blew her knee out in high school :(. Anyway, small world, Nicole and her family moved to our city this past summer. It was fun to catch up with them again after almost 20 years!
