3.9.03 – sunday brunch

today was the great summit meeting of parents (andy’s, mine) over brunch at our new house. since andy and i still eat dinner off of a half-sized card table, the event called for purchasing a new coffee table at st. vincent’s yesterday, which means that our catholic couch now has a catholic coffee table to hang with. maybe they can get together and exclude the mormon tv stand – a sort of karmic role reversal from my own childhood.

the parents (also catholic, both sets) got along marvelously. they’ve both lived in the same small community for the past 30 years, so it wasn’t hard for them to find things in common. the decision to buy quiche instead of attempting my own turned out to be an excellent idea, and forgetting to serve the strawberries means that andy and i will be mashing our own strawberry ice cream later tonight. darn.
