Calven's Birthday @ Chez Rat's* Chilli Night

We celebrated Calven's birthday and it was also Matt's turn to whip up a meal and be the host for his friends on the monthly drinking club, so he cooked his meanest chilli at home.
I helped to prepare garlic bread, mash potato, rice, coleslaw and a mocha birthday cake while everyone brought a bottle or two.
The idea of having 8 blokes at home freaked me up but everyone was on their best behaviour, drank a bit too much for Wednesday, but with great food and fun friends, it was a successful night.

*Matt a.k.a Rat (he was a rat in Pinocchio play when he was a child therefore this nickname)
