Perspective and Dinner
Sep. 27th, 2007 08:09 amThe fact that the whole Dad moving in thing is less than a month old gives me quite a lot of perpsective on the issues. It's not that I'm resisting too hard, it's whiplash from how fast and large the changes are. Still, things are improving and work is slowly getting done.
Dinner last night went a little long. On a whim I invited DNA and Rick and CJ over, that was fun (although CJ got a little overtired, she did enjoy the ornamental gourds.) Talked about work and bicycles and food and people, which is good. Ate cookbook food: two new recipes (for me).
New food: Steak au Poivre (easier than I thought, need to work on the sauce) (Although the sauce was good, it separated.)
Cheese fondue with herb slab for dipping: get sterno! Make as much as the ingredients allow, because EVERYONE wanted more! More forks! and heat the bread up in the oven to crisp it a bit more, and find a better way to cut it up.
Old recipes: green salad and salad nicoise. (tomatoes with basil in balsamic vinegar)
mmmmmmmm.
Next planned meal: Beach Barbeque for end of Summer: Watermelon Basil lemonade, Golden Girl swill (Gin and Squirt?), salami cheddar wrap (toasted), kabobs (don't know what meat yet), corn.
