Dinner with the Hathaway's

Brian and I had dinner with Hathaway's tonight. Chris made swiss chicken, a Hathaway family specialty that I absolutely love! I need to ask him for the recipe so I can make it for myself and all my meat-eating friends.

It was the first time that I saw Lincoln and he's so cute! He has a big head just like Chris and it was fun watching him interact. When I first held Lincoln, he started crying. Why do babies do that!?

It was fun watching Chris interact with Lincoln. My favorite part was when Chris held Lincoln upsidedown! Chris said, "They say you shouldn't play rough with babies at this age, but he's a big boy." Lincoln is a big boy and he'll be a lot of fun when he can talk.

Chris and Naomi are such great parents and Lincoln is really lucky to have them. Whenever I see parents who really love their child and do everything to provide for them, I feel badly for the children who do not have those kind of parents. It really makes me sad.

I felt stereotypically gay tonight as Chris and Naomi talked about themselves and Lincoln. We're the gay friends that only have a dog (that they treat like a child). I'm not putting a value judgment on it, I'm just saying it was a weird to realize that my friends are having kids and I'm not. I'm not jealous as I am not ready for kids right now, but it puts a perspective on my relationship with Brian.

Kids are overrated, espcially babies. You need to get a kid when they are like 5--that way, they can clean up after themselves and all kinds of good stuff. They only downfall is them overhearing things you say then repeating them to friends. "Someone gave me nipple!" comes to mind...

Jesse,

Here's a quick run down on that recipe for swiss chicken:

1. Cook 3 chicken breasts (I usually use the crockpot) and shred the chicken, and put it in an 8 x 13" pan (or whatever the normal size is)

2. Grate or lay slices of mozzerella or swiss cheese over the chicken

3. Mix 2 cans of cream of chicken soup with 1 can of water, and pour over the chicken and cheese

4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with a box of stove top stuffing, then sprinkle it on top

5. Put it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes

Serve over rice and enjoy!
