Keira, Duane, and Rod came over tonight, and we all gathered to kind of mark the occasion of the new Matthew Good album being released. For the most part, I made the dinner, minus Rebecca slicing the meat and cheese.
I’m pretty proud of what I came up with. Curried egg salad sandwiches, BLT wraps, assorted meats and cheeses, and crackers.
It was Raymi who inspired the effort. Otherwise, I would have gone with chiliaquiles, but there was something telling me that having them again just wouldn’t be as awesome as a gathering of good folks like this would be. Of course, slurpees go with just about anything.
Needless to say, I think it all went over well. Can’t forget to mention that Keira makes some of the best guacamole that can be found outside of my family. Truly an impressive concoction that I have found in a long time, and she makes a mean batch of cookies as well. In fact, they go well with the whip cream that was originally intended for the strawberries. Rod was the first to make this discovery, all of us following suit.
There wasn’t any listening of the new album as much as there was talk about “where we were when” during the process of the whole recording, not to mention a lot of other random topics that my belly is to full to think about. Then the good news passed down.
The record is sitting at number one on both Amazon.ca and iTunes Canada. [matthewgood]
As of this posting, it’s sitting at #21 on the U.S. version of iTunes. Not too bad.
Great eats man.. Thanks for spending all that time getting it together..
And Slurpee’s too!
you BLEW me out of the water curry sammiches!?
He’s a keeper!
WOW. So I hear you make a mean margarita (I pride myself in my margaritas too). Chilaquiles are also my favourite dish (though I don’t eat cheese – how ridiculous is that, chilaquiles without cheese!). Now I do have ideas for when I have a gathering… thanks for sharing!
Wow…over a week since your last post. Hop to it! Unless, of course, you’re waiting to blow us all away with an incredible post about the Nickelback concert tomorrow?
