So a couple of weeks ago, I agreed to host a party for all of the couples that are going on the cruise in two weeks, with their kiddos.  That's 12 adults, 16 kids. 

I thought, "Oh, yeah.  It'll be fun."

*hyperventilates*

I still have cleaning to do, 4 lasagnas to make, to drag out the vacuum so the rugs can be some semblance of clean, & make beds.

Okay, that's not so bad.  Nolan just went to the grocery store for me, because he is a Godly man who loves me and wants to preserve my sanity.  Of course, he'll inevitably forget something, or get creative with an item on the list and have to make a return trip to the store, but I'm holding out hope, as ever.  I was very specific.  We shall see.

And My SIL is coming to get the boys for the afternoon.  So, all in all, could be worse?

Aaaaand it's a big posting week for Muove.  Lotsa fun scenes.  Some that still aren't finished yet.  Not that I'll be able to do anything about them TODAY. 

Well, maybe.  I am, after all, the queen of the multitask.  :D
I'm having a dinner party tonight.  Like my sister, whose blog can be found on my links list under Emily and CW, I adore food.  Reading cookbooks, planning menus, shopping for food, preparing food...  hospitality is one of my things.  I love having people over, and I adore all the new ROOM we have in which to entertain.  Nolan loves to have people over as well, so it all works out. 

Tonight's Menu:  Dinner for 8


Lemon-Herb Grilled Chicken (from the cookbook [personal profile] seegrim sent me for Christmas - Keeping Good Company)
New Potatoes in Sour Cream (same cookbook)
Green Beans - (Shut up, now, these are MY green beans.  There's never ANY left!)
Homemade Rolls (Ancient Carrie Leigh secret recipe)
Salad - my friend is bringing
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
Peanut butter oatmeal cookies - Friend is bringing

Now how does that sound, y'all?

Side note:  I don't ever actually say, "y'all" - it just sneaks out when I do these cooking posts.  Like I'm somehow possessed by Paula Dean. I dunno.  Weird.)

Currently, the rolls are rising, the chicken is marinating, the ice cream is freezing, and I am off to get my children haircuts so the little one will quit complaining that it's "touching my ears!"  Horror of horrors.

Y'all have a good weekend, now, y'hear?

I've wanted to do this for ages...  a cooking blog post!  Behind the cut it's kind of image intensive, so beware dialup users!
