Wendy & I went out with a bunch of our friends — Ted, Holly, Rose, Keith, Kristy, Chuck, Robin, and Dave — to paint pottery this evening. We met at Crackpots Pottery at 6:45, but Wendy & I went first to Taco Casa for their excellent Taco Salad (really, it’s the best in town).

The broccoli soup was really good and very simple. The roasted chicken is one of my favorite methods. Recipes for both are below.
Tonight, Wendy & I attended the suprise anniversary party for Bess Arlene and Ossie who are celebrating 25 years of marriage. Their children hosted a lovely party at a clubhouse very near our home, so it was easy to get there and back (a nice…
