Wine, Dine, and Change the Time

Last October, we hosted a beer tasting party in honor of turning back the clocks. We called it The Fall-Back Beer Fest. It was pretty sweet. We had a bunch of people and a ton of awesome beers.

Now it's "spring ahead season", so we decided to host another party. This time it was our Wine, Dine, and Change the Time party. We had pile of friends over and celebrated with a big Italian dinner and a bunch of great wine.

Of course we had to stay true to ourselves and go a little overboard on some things, so the morning of, Sonya and I tried our hands at making homemade noodles for our pasta. We made light-wheat fettuccine and basic egg noodle spaghetti. Then we realized that the size of our table wasn't big enough for the number of people, so I decided to tear our table apart, then build a new one from the scraps of past ridiculous projects and parts of the original table.

Frankenstein-style.

It's pretty sweet. We went from seating for four to seating for ten comfortably. We managed to cram about thirteen or more around it though.

It was an awesome night. A ton of great wine, a good time catching up with friends, lots of food (the pasta was a success!), and another great excuse to build unnecessary things.
