Saturday night dinner date!!

Last night Scott and I had an AWESOME dinner over at our friends house. Scott and Steve enjoyed sharing their Scotch's, Whiskey's, Run, and Sherry- all 16 of them! While Jen and I talked about having babies (she has 4 year old twin boys), I snacked on brownies, and she drank some wine (JEALOUS!).







For dinner Jen made the most amazing home-made mac and cheese- a Barefoot Contessa recipe. The secret ingredient is probably the Gruyere cheese...mmm....It was SO good!

Here is the RECIPE. You will NOT be disappointed!
