asian cabbage slaw.

yesterday evening, blakey & i had a fabulous sunday night family dinner.  sunday night family dinner became a tradition when we lived in okc with julie & benny boo, while dad & ruth & lindsey & brent all lived in norman.  we would all meet up in norman every sunday night for a delicious meal, a few beverages, & an evening of fun.  it was so fun to gather our big clan & any friends who could join around the dinner table.  certainly one of the things i miss most about oklahoma.

blakey & i have done our best to enjoy a meal together on sunday nights as often as possible.  it usually involves thai takeout or a soup that has been cooking all day.  but last night we actually made a real sunday night family dinner meal.  & since it was the only thing we did this weekend interesting enough for a blog post, it will be multiple posts :)
