Life After Connecticut College

My dinner party went pretty well Chris, thanks. I was concerned that no one would show considering I invited about 20 people and most said they couldn't come. BUT, I had a good group of 8 people that didn't know each other and there were almost no awkward moments the entire evening! I'll credit that to my personal charm. We had some cheese and crackers and fruit, but the entree was pretty awesome. You saute chicken in the olive oil that sun dried tomatoes are packed in. After it's cooked through cut it into pieces and set it aside. Boil a pound of penne pasta. In the same sun dried tomato olive oil saute some minced garlic. Then add the garlic, chicken, some low sodium chicken broth, fresh basil, and sun dried tomatoes to the pasta. Cook that together until it's warm and then put onto a plate. Grate fresh Parmesan cheese on and add roasted pine nuts, salt, and pepper. Yes, the people that didn't show missed an awesome meal. If want the exact recipe just ask!
The next day I had a club swim meet at princeton. The club team is certainly no conn college camels swim team, which is quickly moving up the nescac rankings, but it's fun nonetheless. I had never been to princeton and man is it gorgeous. The host team was also kind enough to provide people who placed in events with full size candy bars! How come we never got candy in college for winning? Maybe some extra incentive would be worthwhile, you do get pretty hungry at swim meets....Anyway, our next club meet is at Penn State. There are some pretty exciting things going on this week at Penn so I'll be back with more. My thanksgiving back in the land of cheese and beer was pretty awesome and I hope everyone else had an enjoyable holiday too!
