So for dinner on Sunday, I invited my FHE brothers over. Ya, we're a pretty good looking family. Good thing we're not really related! ;) Starting on the left and going around the table: Natalie, Kim Melissa, Rick, Jenna, Stu, Seth, Devin, Jake, and Dave.

But wait-there's still more!

And the cute waitress starts naming them off- Italian, Thousand Island, Bleu cheese, etc, and she said Guacamole Ranch. And then she said that they basically have any kind of ranch there is. So I JUMPED at that- and asked if they had chipotle ranch-----WHICH THEY DID! It was absolutely amazing. I dipped the fries in it, and the salad, and drank it straight, okay not that.
