We treated them to a meal straight out of Kansas City--barbeque ribs, baked beans, cheesy corn and homemade bread. Finished off the meal with my special 3-layer birthday cake recipe (Banana, Pineapple and Pecan Cake) with vanilla ice cream.
Ended the night by watching LadyHawk--one of our favorite "old" movies. Now that we know some Spanish, we've come to realize that subtitles don't have much to offer and don't make it very easy to understand the movie. Although, the subtitles in this movie were much better than they were in "August Rush" earlier in the week. In that movie, it wasn't uncommon for someone to say the beginning of a sentence in English (Spanish subtitle appears) and then finishes the sentence in English (no additional subtitle appears.) How is a person supposed to understand if he/she is only gets half of the story? Other times, people talking and no subtitle appears. Guess someone must have thought that some of the dialog was optional.
Well, I got off my original subject--sorry. Nevertheless, it was a great night with great friends, subtitles and all.
