Ready for fun today? What will you do?
We are invited to a small dinner party today at 4:00. The hours are "4:00 to sunset". It is an outdoor party and the weather is beautiful. Aren't those hours different and very nice? Of course, I am secretly pretending that it is a Christmas party. I am pretty sure this family returns to their home country to celebrate Christmas with their extended family. This is another family that I originally had to our house for a small dinner party, to meet some neighbors - with my poor husband complaining bitterly the whole time that he "did not like to entertain". Of course, now he loves this family and is really looking forward to tonight -- although he still hates to entertain!
This morning, I started roasting the turkey breasts for tomorrow's brunch. I discovered that these turkey breasts have those pop-up things that tell you when they are fully cooked! Hurray! I also found the fabulous Apple Cakes at Whole Food grocery - for half price. So I bought two. I have also decided to have Mimosas in addition to orange juice, bottled waters, coffee, tea, and various children's drinks. So I will start a list. Champagne, OJ, cream for coffee, sodas, bottled waters. Napkins, paper plates, coffee cups. I still think that I can do this for under $100 - since those turkey breasts were on sale for $1 a pound. And I have lots of delicious ground coffees already in my refrigerator, from a gift.
