I'm having a very small dinner party tomorrow night and did my prepping today. We'll grill pork chops and vegetables and while I would normally make a rice pilaf salad, I've made it twice in maybe a month, so I cooked up a pot of fideo (vermicelli) in place of the pilaf and tossed a pasta salad instead. Tasted pretty good if I do say so myself, should be 'good enough to eat' by tomorrow evening.
We used to love to entertain and had the house & yard to do it in. I'm no Rachel Raye wannabe, but I do enjoy cooking and experimenting and sharing with friends and I still love entertaining. When I moved to my little house, I didn't think I'd be doing anymore entertaining or creative cooking and gave away most of my "tools". Then I found out I don't need much space, just good(and hungry) friends, and I've started all over again. We occasionally potluck some of these meals for real adventure. Maybe we should visit the idea of a progressive dinner before the snows set in again. There's a thought. Meanwhile, looking forward to tomorrow evening; hope it cools down enough to be able to eat outside. The deck is in the shade in the evening and we'll eat a little later than normal ... should be fine.
It's the last week in July. Can you believe it? Seven months of 2010 gone, done, fini, bye-bye! Someone want to go to the front of the train and slow it down? Enjoy this beautiful weekend everyone, Katie and I plan to do likewise!
