Chicken Feet!

We just got back from a trip to Reno where we visited Dennis and Tawny. I gave a presentation at UNR to students in the mining engineering dept, which only took a couple hours, but we took advantage of the occasion and made a weekend of it. Dennis and Tawny have a beautiful new house and we were glad for their hospitality and good cooking. Dennis made Gentry tacos, which tasted nearly exactly like Heather's, even though they have no common recipe - at least not written. Those are some SERIOUSLY good tacos - always what I ask for on my birthday :)

Among the things we did was introduce them to Chicken Bones - Andrea and Ryck's version (much improved I might add) of the dominoes game Chicken Feet - where every time you play you come up with a new rule or "nugget." We came up with a good one that we'll send to Andrea and Ryck to see if they'll add it to their official rulebook :)

Speaking of Chicken Feet - Lisa posted some pics of Grace on her blog today that I just had to steal :) Lisa brought her some latex gloves from the hospital and she seemed to think the best place for them was on her feet - so she put them on and called them her chicken feet. She then proceeded to walk around the house saying "cock-a-doodle-doo" (she doesn't know the difference between chickens and roosters... though I guess roosters are chickens... anyway, we thought it was pretty funny! She's quite the ham...
