Because Marissa would be busy Saturday, Sue and I had her and her husband Gary over Friday evening for her birthday dinner. She had requested that I fix my version of former owner of Portsmouth's famous Blue Strawberry restaurant Chef James Haller's Rock Cornish Game Hens.

I got out of work early so I could start food prep because this is about a 2 hour start to finish operation and they were coming over at 6:30pm after work.

I had planned to eat around 7:00pm as I knew they would both have an early morning to get to work, so we had a little time before the hens were done just to hang out and chat for awhile. It was a nice evening to share with them.
