how to forget penn state...

Sometimes an idea or concept gets stuck in your head and no matter how hard you try... it's there. Know what I mean? This large round wooden table with leather chairs was such a concept in the Musacchio household. I had almost dropped the issue when Todd purchased a new chandelier for over the "new" table. It was on... So, after a few successful Craigslist endeavors - the old table, chairs and chandelier were sold. After MUCH drama in getting the table shipped [drumroll] here it is!

What's missing (other than that you can't see the light)? FRIENDS! Friday night before the Ohio State/Penn State game, the table hosted Todd, Clay, Shannon and me for Kung Pao and sake. Our new addition, Domo, guarded the candy boat.


He's just a little guy, but he got so very upset when I ate one of his Heath bars. I had to calm him down by promising to make him a Christmas outfit and ensure he always had candy for his boat.


Pumpkin Domo was rather excited to see that Clay had brought some friends for him. In no time, they were workin' it out on the pool table.

Clay was sad that Danny's was closed and there would be no enjoying of soft-serve orange sherbet during this trip. Thankfully, we had billiards, Ketel One and sour pumpkins to keep him happy.

Before half-time, the crew could hear me dicing away in the kitchen... then the smell of chocolate... it was time for fondue! We weren't too coordinated in taking a group fondue photo, but this does the trick. Please note that Clay chose to dip a sour pumpkin and Todd doesn't seem to realize that he has an entire chain of sliced marshmallows - oh my.


I'm guessing you saw the game. I'm guessing you know why we'd want to forget it as quickly as possible. Liquid Caine does the job - trust us. After 3 shots, Shannon had to take a seat behind the bar to plot out her next beverage. Classic Shanahan. Until this moment, she had agreed to keep her BLUE AND WHITE (not Penn State -but terrible color choice) shirt covered up. This picture really is worth a thousand words.


loving the new bar knife and cutting board,
jamie.
