Food Coma

I have worked with Terry at Duracell for seven years. In these years, we have become friends and our families have occasionally, gone out to eat together. The strange thing is Terry and Tanya have never been physically inside my house. Terry has made it to the door a couple of times, but has never physically entered my house, not even to use the rest room. So yesterday, we decided to finally invite him and his wife Tanya over for dinner. Of course, dinner alone would not suffice. Anyone who knows us, knows that it's usually a food orgy that leads to a coma by the end of the evening. We started in the morning by going to a restaurant in White Plains, New York where you can get traditional Hong Kong style dim sum. Terry and Tanya love good dim sum as much as Susan and I do so that was a no - brainer. After a quick stop at the Chinese and Japanese market to pick up the necessities, we then headed back to my house for drinks, cheese and hors d'oeuvres followed by dinner. We decided to make it a full blown party, so invited Al and Dawn as well. Well, as you can imagine, it was a non-stop food fest that started in the morning and ended late in the evening. I really enjoy having good friends over to eat drink and of course, be merry.
