Gamer's Dinner 1999
1/28/2000

As a Christmas gift, the Weller's put together a multi-course dinner for their gaming friends. Usually the dinner is followed by a D&D game either on the same day or the next. For the 1999 Christmas dinner, Mike put together another one of his fabulous dinners pictured below; please note that not all the colors came out quite right in the pictures. Under most of the meal pictures is the name of the course in bold, the name of the dish, and the beverage that was served in italics. Friends from both the San Francisco bay area and from southern California came for the dinner and the eleven hour game that followed on the next day. A very big thank you goes out to both Mike and Celia (and for Shawn who was very good and cute).
