dinner at my parents house

the most amazing person that i've ever met passed away recently and i went home for his funeral. i lost my camera charger, so i can't really take pictures, but i think some of the other people who were there maybe took some and i can update this later.

there was a really amazing memorial in richmond on saturday, and then a visitation time with his parents in northern virginia on sunday. sunday was mother's day. so after the visitation, kendall, tyler, melissa, katie, morgan and i went ot my parents house where they fed our sad little faces.

there was a nice salad and grilled shrimp and grilled marinated chicken and beef. my parents take entertaining very seriously and my dad had bought my mother a new patio umbrella that has a base and hangs over the table, rather than coming up from a pole in the center. plus they have a ridiculous grill. but really, it's the meat i wanted to talk about. the chicken was marinated in saffron and something liquidish and the beef is marinated in pomegrante paste and ground walnuts and other things. it's the bomb.

soon i will move into my very own place. there i hope to have many little dinner parties. and i also hope to have a new charger for my dumb new camera. which i also plan on taking on a tubing trip this summer if it ever gets warm enough to go into the water. boo ya!
