So we played Shanghai again at our house, and Chris wins the pot again. WTF?! In MY own damned house, I'm getting beat! Grrr!! Akiliah calculated we only lost about $1.50. I don't get it! I am playing this game so much better than I was! Seriously, what the hell is going on?! It pretty much boils down to me and Chris, in the last game tonight Chris and Akilah. So are they using some strategy unbeknowst to us?? Dammit, I want to win!
Grrr!!!
Anyway, we played 2 games because we started early enough. Chris made one of my new favorite things ever: enchilada casserole ring. It's a Pampered Chef recipe used to showcase about half a dozen things they sell. Screw all that. The ring is tastey and I love it. It's got chopped chicken, jalepenos, tomatoes, onions, garlic and cheese. All of that goodness is stuffed into a "ring" made of Pilsbury crescent rolls, first stretched out and then folded into the center. It's flakey and flavorful and probably wrong for us on 10 different levels...but so so damned good!
Observed an interesting phenomena tonight: some people who are ordinarily quiet or have very little say, can actually have a whole lot to say if the right conditions are met. I guess I find it interesting how person(s) who otherwise are quiet, reserved and don't have much to say can all of a sudden perk. Which begs the question, what are those conditions? And how if at all, I can stimulate them.
