September Bunco at Pam's

Pam's lovely home is for sale.


Pam had her right arm in a cast from recent surgery. This limited her famous culinary skills.


We played bunco first and then ate, so we could play outside while the weather was nice.









Sisters, Karen and Kris. Can you tell which one lives in Salem and which one lives in Phoenix? That's a tough one....
Pam's backyard and sport court.


Cute haircut, don't you think?

Janet sells the roundish pearl necklace (not large former mother of pearl button) in her store, Ma Valise, in Salem.
Dori was in a great mood.
I loved this appetizer. I think it would work for a salad, also.

Cowboy Caviar
1 can shoepeg corn drained
1 can blackeyed peas, drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
2/3 cup chopped cilantro
2/3 cup chopped green onion
2 chopped avocados
whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 1/3 cup olive oil
add 1 tsp. cumin
mix and serve on chips








Deanna limbers up for Bunco.
Liz and Wendy catch up on news.
Boy, can she mix the Margaritas!
With two people who were not at Bunco we had two "dummies". Liz and Debbie decided not to let them play together. No telling what would have happened! Then there is always the issue of who gets credit when you roll the dice for the dummy and the dummy gets a Bunco! I decreed that the roller gets the credit.
All ten of us sat at the Kruse's nice long dining room table. It had another leaf that we didn't need this time.
The snow peas with fresh dill weed was a great combination.
Brownie with fudge topping and raspberries wasn't on my diet, but I ate it anyway. What can it say?

I loved this cute creamer that was shaped like a school milk carton. Pam thought she bought the set at World Market. Well, Thursday, I went on a search at that store off NW 23rd and had no luck. The workers didn't recall anything like it. Boo hoo.
Boobie Prize was won by Debbie.
Liz was happy to win the Most Buncos prize. She got two!
