Family Fun Night!

For many years now we have made Friday nights a night of special food, loud music, fun activities, movies, yummy deserts, and just an all around exciting and great time!  Tonight I made homemade pizza, which is my magnum opus of culinary creations, while mom whipped up some homemade ice cream for root beer floats, yummmmmm.  While we feasted on pizza we puzzled our minds with an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” starring David Suchet as the great detective Hercule Poirot.  It proved to be an exciting, albeit a bit gruesome, mystery which had my mind clicking and my heart pumping (and all the while my mouth munching).  

Black Olive & Feta (Secret ingredient: Herbs De Provence)

Classic Pepperoni

Margarita Pizza, sliced and ready to eat.

Pesto & Goat cheese alongside a bottle of the best root beer ever.

Heavenly homemade vanilla ice cream.

One of my very favorite detectives.
One of the great advantages to having such a fun Friday, it sets the tone for a fabulous weekend to follow!

  1. Your family always does things with the simplest of grand style. :D I guess one should expect a movie about murder to be gruesome ;)
