Recovery

Whew! I had fourteen people who braved traffic and foul weather to come over for a dinner party last night. Things seem to have gone well. Yummy food and drink and good conversation were in abundance. I even got some gifts! How sweet is that? Now I just have to finish up with the cleaning before I disappear off to Maine. Put away a few things last night before I fell asleep on the couch for eight hours. Something to do with the lack of sleep the past couple of weeks. Hmm, I think I could use another nap. Things I learned:

• Using powdered bread crumbs instead of using a food processor is not an acceptable substitute in my stuffing recipe.
• Aspall draft english cider is really tasty!
• I probably could seat twenty five people in my house with a little effort. But it'd be crowded.
• Lysol sanitized wipes are the shiznit for cleaning!
• There is no way in hell that the beef roast will cook in an hour and a half.

Anyway, I'm really happy people came out had a good time.
