Linda and Tim at Ryan & Laura's dinner party. (12/27/2007)
No longer was it painted in storybook colors, as the previous owner had it. Their home is now decorated in these rich, earthy tones. You could almost describe it as Zen-like. It was simply beautiful, and very much Ryan and Laura.

Tom and Christine were there as well, as well as Tom's mom Linda who was visiting for the holidays from North Carolina. It was great seeing Linda again, since we don't see her very often. She always cracks us up.
Ryan and Laura's 20-lb. cat Pecos made a rare appearance. (12/27/2007)
The food was amazing. First course was an onion soup that was amazing. For the main course we had tri-tip beef, roasted potatoes with fresh chives, perfectly-cooked green beans and a fresh salad. For dessert, we had bread pudding topped with your choice of whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Afterward we played several rounds of Taboo, the electronic version. So fun! Thanks Ryan and Laura for hosting such a great night!

That was a great night indeed. Great food and drink and perfect company. We need to do this more!
OMG, that soup was so awesome...I think Laura outdid the onion soup at Ryan's old haunt THE HAMBURGER HAMLET with that stuff. And as you know, James, from eating buckets of that HAMLET soup with me over the years, that is really saying something!!
I just hope they invite us all back for brunch when they tackle the infamous "Eggs Sardou"! Yum!!
What a GREAT picture of Pecos!
