Idaho Night


In late February I met a man. Not just any man… an Idaho man.
Seth and I met through a mutual friend and became pretty chummy pretty quick. In addition to face masks, speed scrabble, and free stuff, we also have a mutual love for our home state, Idaho. To celebrate, we planned an “Idaho night” and invited some friends (both fellow Idahoans and out-of-staters) to come enjoy a traditional Idaho meal.
It was Sunday dinner just like mom used to make- a roast, carrots, funeral potatoes, green salad, rolls, and Crystal light. Perfect.
Of course, following dinner (and before the dessert of cupcakes), we played family night games. One team was better than the other, but who really keeps score. I just want to say, from now on, I ALWAYS want to be on Seth’s team… he NEVER looses!
In preparation for our Gem State Extravaganza, we had hung home made signs, and in true Seth and Karyn form, orchestrated a lengthy photo shoot. Cowboy hats, blue eyeshadow, bad hair, belt buckles... all were represented.
Highlights of the night include Melissa’s Mormon potatoes, Rodolfo’s first attempt at Taboo, and meeting new friend (and fellow Idahoan) Jonathan.
