Family Game Night

Let it be known that there really is no 'family' present at family game night. That's apparently just what we call it. Last night the roommmates and I had a couple friends over to hang out and play games. This eventually led to drunken Sing Star playing, and me falling over the back of the couch onto the floor after consuming the better part of a bottle of Riesling.  All of that aside, we had snacks for dinner last night, and I made a mean spinach artichoke dip. I put some sriracha in it for flavor, and it turned REALLY pink.  I did the lip biting "Oh shit" thing for a second, but once I put in the spinach and artichoke, you couldn't really tell very much. I think the only thing that would have made this better is if I put actual garlic in it. I'm glad I doubled it up as well, because it wound up disappearing pretty fast.

HOT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
1 8 oz package 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup regular mayo (please refer to my post about mayo)
1 tsp sriracha
3/4 c. shredded mozzarella
1/4 c. grated parmesan
1 14 oz can artichoke hearts
1 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed.

This is actually really easy and requires minimal effort. I mixed everything in my Kitchen-Aid so the artichoke hearts broke up. If you're mixing by hand, you may want to chop the artichokes. Mix everything together and bake for about 35 minutes at 375. We ate it with crackers and tortilla chips. It was....amazing.

What else was amazing? Abel's falsetto while singing 'Gold Lion' with Sean. They both have the voices of angels.
