Mexican Scramble(d) Eggs

This past Friday, we had our ABF Game Night at the Goodings house.  We had tacos (delish!!) and played Mexican Scramble.  When trying to figure out how to play, I was told "it's like Spades!"  it's like Hearts!"  "you rotate like you do in Bunco!" so it took a minute to figure out what was going on.  Lucky us, we had the lovely Anna to walk around and help the tables and be scorekeeper. 

 

Just when we got the hang of it, the rules changed!  We played with our spouse as a partner in the first round, but then rotated partners and tables based on whether you won or lost the hand.  Every hand had a different trump or rule, so sometimes you wanted to win, and sometimes you wanted to lose!  It definitely kept our minds scrambled, but it was addicting.  

 

People were allowed to enter their scores on the honors system, but Anna always double checked knowing how competitive some people were. :)  Even though our spouses were not our partners every hand, our scores were added to get our team total.  It seems like nearly everyone was in the lead at some point, but the Cooks ended up taking home the prize and bragging rights!  Colin and I ended up in second - woo hoo!!

The next day, Colin decided to take me out to breakfast at Main Street Bistro for a change of pace.  We were greeted by the pastry cases filled with ah-mazing looking creations and an aroma of delicious coffee and decadent delights!  We were seated right away, and our food could not come fast enough!

Colin had the Uptown Eggs Benedict (poached eggs on salmon with holandaise sause and hash browns), and I had La Parisien (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and a big flaky croissant).  It was such a fun treat to go out to breakfast with my hubby!
