Shrimp alfredo

My friends have the tendency to like to show up at my house for dinners. That I make.

I don't mind too much. I enjoy it when my friends are over. We chat, play video games, watch movies, and hang out in general.

A couple weekends ago in particular, it was a gorgeous and abnormally warm day. We reached a high of 12C and it was so balmy, I was inclined to go for a walk, even after my morning run. I called my friend up, and we hit the dusty trail. We decided to walk to our other friend's house (the one I ran with in the morning).

We hung out for a couple hours, goofing around with the guitars, youtube videos and a general discussion for the evening plans. It was decided, we would go to the mall to look for Mario Party and extra Wii controllers, pick up some stuff for dinner, and we would head to my house to eat and hang.

I made shrimp alfredo for dinner. Since we were salad-less, I added broccoli and carrots to the pasta, and made some three cheese crab puffs for a side.

I'm not one for alfredo sauces, because of my lactose intolerance, but had an odd hankering for a creamy sauce. Also, a need to use all the 35% cream that's sitting in my fridge.

Dinner turned out delicious. My friends played video games, and we watched Django as well. All in all, a pretty good Saturday night.
