Update 01/17/2010: So, we were originally going to watch Vantage Point and Akeelah and the Bee, but I was in such a hurry to get over there that I forgot to grab the movies. It worked out just fine because we watched The Great Debaters instead, which was awesome.
While we were still in the planning stages of the night, Carrie said she'd made a yummy dinner: chicken pot pie. Now, I don't know about you, but I've never had homemade chicken pot pie, so my only reference to such a dish was the ones you get in the freezer section that are...ummm...GROSS! But I know she is such a great cook that I had every confidence hers was going to be fab...and I was right. So so SO so good. I had two servings; not so helpful with my weight loss goals this year, but sometimes, you gotta live a little [or even a lot!].
