Dinner, for Once

So it was thursday night. Prisms was recording, laying down guitar tracks in the basement. When we were about halfway through our studio session, Jon and Daniel came in, arms loaded with groceries. After checking in to see how everything was going, they told us they were cooking a delicious dinner and proceeded upstairs into the kitchen. We continued recording guitar, minding our own business. Every now and then we'd hear a smash or crash as pots and pans seemed to be flying around upstairs. We heard footsteps creaking on the floor above and the sink's water seemed to be running the whole time they were cooking.

...and that's when we smelled it. It was like heaven, only better. I smelled the familiar smell of garlic mashed potatoes (one of my favorite foods of all time)!! After our recording session was over I went upstairs to find a feast prepared:

they made a RIDICULOUS meal for dinner!! Caramelised onions over steak w/barbecue sauce, and garlic mashed redskin potatoes, washed down with Red Hook beer. Here's a closeup of the masterpiece:

It was delicious! The mashed potatoes were very garlicy and well-spiced with herbs from the Shiloh Garden (the spice rack in the kitchen), and were creamy and chunky at the same time, which was simply delightful! The steak was fairly tender, with the caramelised onions complementing the taste just right. Barbeque sauce was on hand, but I found that I didn't need it to fully appreciate the steak's juicy taste.

pretty good considering these are two of the lamest and most incapable dudes I've ever met. all they seems capable of is going to Nicaragua and helping build houses for weeks on end, or traveling to africa and feeding the hungry. see what I mean? LAME.

anyway, as we were finishing up, someone suggested that we break out the scotch, which we proceeded to do:
and let's not forget the Ardbeg:
And barring the fact that somebody drank like a massive amount of our whisky somehow, we ate, drank, and were merry! I'm telling you, Glengoyne is insane. if you ever get your hands on it, you are a success!
