08.08.08 Cubs top Cardinals 3-2 in 11 innings




Baby's first cubs game and they pull out a win! Mommy's first dry cubs game ;-(

I was invited to a rooftop party by our favorite roofing contractor company, Bennett and Brosseau (plug alert). My first game where the food and drinks are FREE and I get to suck down water and sprite. Well, at least they WON!!

I also made a Argentinian feast last night for my parents, sister and Diane and Ralph (family friends). It went off well as I got many compliments and, what I thought was too much food, was almost gone by the end of the evening. This is probably a first for me where I don't make way too much food (or it's so good people keep eating). I made skirt steak with chimichurri, chicken empanadas, mushroom & spinach empanadas, tomato salad, french fries (courtesy of my dad. Thanks dad.) and for desert: milhojas argentinas (puff pastry, grilled pineapple and dulce de leche). Yum! I am writing this down in case I find I don't have time to cook these feasts once baby comes. I want proof I once entertained with the best of them ;-)
Yesterday was also the opening day for the Summer Olympics in Beijing. It was quite a show. Tons of costumes and some that even lit up. People dancing upside down... (There is a reason I did not go into journalism, this stuff is hard to describe.) The bird's nest stadium looked cool. My dad said the construction was fascinating. Apparently there was a special on the telly that I missed. Boo hoo. I'll have to look it up myself.
