It was a nice get-together. For the first time we successfully smoked chicken in the offset smoker, and it was incredibly good. I'm really looking forward to doing it again, and learning how to do other meats. Pretty much all the food was decent, and the wines were nice, if not ones I would normally drink (one was a chardonnay that was not aged in wood, so it was missing the notes that I enjoy, but made it drinkable for John.) Gaming after dinner was lots of fun. The only thing missing was a roaring fire (alas we have no fireplace.)
Never mind that I tried to close the vents on the searing hot firebox with my bare hands. Or that I twisted my ankle in the kitchen. Or that, once told to sit down so I didn't do any more damage to myself, my back decided to give out on me. It was a good evening. Thank you, everyone, for helping to make last night a success.
