MCN

Finally, here is the finished post. It took forever to upload all these pictures! Enjoy.



MCN is becoming a legendary event amongst a small group of my friends. I don't even know how it started, but last monday night was the third occasion, each becoming more elaborate than the one before.

What is MCN?

Men's Cooking Night



Here are John and Nate, the cooks hard at work.




The ladies all dressed up for this evening too, and even though it was about the hottest day of the summer so far, I must say I think we looked lovely.



Here is a picure of our dinner. The main course was lasagna. Six cheese lasagna with marinara sauce and green beans with almonds. Wow.



And here is the type of service you can expect to receive at an MCN event. Kelly and I have commented that there may not be many young women who have been given such a gift from the male friends in their life, and there may not be many young men who have given it. We totally adore them for this, and they know it, so a toast to the chefs!



This evening was also a celebration for our friend Rachel, who is moving to California this week. Blessings to you as you go. We will all be praying that God opens up amazing doors and leads all of your steps.
You look beautiful!


But by the end of the night, after our chocolate silk pie is eaten, and compliments are given all around, the pretensions thankfully dissappear and we fall into the normal relaxed chaos. Whew!





Thanks everyone! Until next time...
