The Potluck Dinner Party

What a fun night! We hosted the aforementioned Potluck Dinner Party last night, and it was definitely an all-around success. We had eight for dinner, and it honestly couldn't have been easier, because all of the dishes besides the main course were covered by my friends: Andy and Rachel brought some serious flavor with their vegetable kabobs (on the grill, and on the table, pictured), Garrett brought crunchy, cheesy garlic bread, and the spouse and I grilled up a couple of tri-tips (recipe listed in one of the WAY back posts). Hopefully, we'll get another guest post from Andy on the veggies, because it's the first time I've ever scarfed down something that was THAT good for me!
I used to feel bad asking guests to bring something, thinking I should be the perfect hostess and labor all day long to present the perfect meal. But you know what? The perfect meal is simply one that's accompanied by good wine and great friends. Thanks, everyone!
