Tuesday November 23rd

Home at last! My first dinner back in New Hampshire was not exactly what I had bargained for. My mom called me earlier that day asking me if I was going to have friends over, and if so, how many hamburgers should she plan on making. I don't like hamburgers! I voiced that concern and luckily, she was able to pick up something else at the store instead. We had a family sit down meal that night, complete with cloth napkins and candles. I had blueberries, blackberries, salad with onion, tomato, cucumber, and avocado, and for my entree, I had grilled Portabella mushrooms. We began eating at 7:14 and promptly finished at 8:00 so my mother and sister could watch Glee.

My Dad's first time grilling mushrooms, he said, "Hey, they were black from the start!"
